ATTENTION EMPLOYERS:
DLIR WDD in collaboration with the Counties seeks to partner with state departments and divisions and other employers that can offer real on-the-job work experience, training, and supervision for selected interns. Interns may conduct duties that are the same or similar to those of your current employees.  This program is intended to prepare interns for possible careers and offers job seekers an inside look and feel of what it is like to work for you while at the same time allowing you the opportunity to stretch your resources further with the assistance of one or more interns.
