municipalauthorities.org │ 5 3 T IPS FOR G ETTING S TARTED Moore encourages other authorities to consider developing an internship program as one solution to building a pipeline for future workers. He has this advice for those who want to get started: • Take time to plan and develop a structured experience for the interns. • Make sure you have staff available and ready to support what interns will learn and be doing. Everyone benefits when expectations and objectives are clearly defined. • Promote opportunities early – it can be competitive to get quality candidates. • Give students relevant experience connected to their studies but expose them to other areas of the organization to understand how everything works together.
