Internship Program

The City of Coachella is committed to providing a challenging and meaningful work experience for college and high school students. Our Internship Program provides students the opportunity to apply traditional academic classroom learning, from a wide variety of disciplines, with actual work experience.  

The City partners with academic internship coordinators at local colleges, universities, high schools and professional institutions such as One Valley Future to provide interns the opportunity to work side-by-side with professional City staff committed to teamwork and providing superior municipal services to our community. We aim to enhance academic learning and inspire future interest in a possible career in the public sector.  An internship may be for either the summer or school year.
