The County of Monterey is the largest employer in the county with 800 job classifications in 25 departments. They believe student interns will bring new cutting-edge approaches to its teams, because students are learning current approaches to solve systemic challenges. Interns can help the county better serve the community through collaborating on projects with county staff.
