IPS Intern Program

IPS is launching a Statewide Intern program this summer and you can help spread the word!


We have traditionally hired undergraduates, graduate assistants and an occasional post-graduate intern, but we have never had a comprehensive program. MTAS and CTAS are cooperating to launch this initiative. We have several universities who are partnering with us including UT Knoxville, UT Chattanooga, East Tennessee State, Middle Tennessee State, Tennessee State and the University of Memphis.

Students will apply for intern positions through their academic home department, and MTAS and CTAS are recruiting cities and counties to hire the interns. This is a great way to grow the public sector work force of the future. And, who knows? Some of them might come back to IPS as consultants one day!
