Internship Program

 

Objective of Internship Program

 

The major objective of our Internal Audit internship program is to provide talented young people an opportunity to learn about the City and the internal audit profession while they apply and enhance their skills and knowledge through a summer, fall or spring internship.  It is designed for individuals who have two or more years of education with an accredited college/university at the time they begin their internship and have an interest in the Auditing or Accounting profession.  The goal is to provide a rewarding experience for both the student and the employer.

 

At the start of the internship program, interns will be required to write a summary of expectations.  This will help focus on the objective of the program and will help both the student and the employer with planning and evaluation purposes. 

 

Employer Expectations

Week 2 through end of term – During the rest of the internship in the Office of the City Auditor, you will be working with audit staff on assigned audits gaining valuable experience in a mature internal audit department environment while applying college learned theory and practices.

During and at the end of the internship, the intern will receive evaluations with feedback to continue to improve the skill set required as an internal auditor.
