Information Technology Division's IT Internship Program
Program with California State University, Fullerton
Los Angeles County Public Works (PW) periodically hires interns
in our Information Technology Division (ITD) to help meet peak information technology
(IT) programming needs. These interns are hired through an internship program administered
by California State University, Fullerton (CSUF). The university provides résumés from
applicants with a major/degree in the IT field, such as information systems, computer
science, and computer engineering. Selected applicants are employed by California State
University, not the County of Los Angeles; however, several former interns have subsequently been hired by PW.
