County of San Mateo
Summer and year-long internships across County departments, including a college-level Regional Internship Program.
The County of San Mateo offers internships across many departments, including both summer and year-long opportunities. Positions, duties, and requirements vary by department and by posting. The Regional Internship Program is generally aimed at college-level students and places interns in local government agencies across the region. Summer internship postings are typically published in March or April, so students should check the County internships page early in the spring for the next cycle. Treat any individual posting as seasonal and confirm current openings directly on the County website.
This prototype does not accept applications. Apply only through the original organization and confirm all requirements directly with the provider.
