Albany, GA – On Saturday, May 2, 20206, the City of Albany hosted a job fair for student internships for teenagers ages 16 to 18.

We are proud to announce that the City and the other vendors in attendance saw an excellent turnout for the event. With 99 teens in attendance and over 120 applications received.

Not only did the students show up in force, but they also came with enthusiasm and professionalism. Showcasing the need and interest for more internships within the City and County.

While we are thrilled to have so many applicants for our summer internship program and the internship programs for the other participating vendors, we are limited in the number of positions we can offer.

The City would like to encourage other area businesses to consider offering additional internship positions for our students to fill. If anyone needs assistance with starting an internship program, please reach out to the Albany Director of Human Resources, Towanna Howard, by email at thoward@albanyga.gov.
