Lake County Circuit Clerk Keith S. Brin announces 2015 Summer Internship Program

Circuit Clerk Keith S. Brin today announced the launch of his office’s 2015 Summer Internship Program. The application process opens on Monday, March 16th.  Ten paid full-time summer internships will be available.  

The internship program, dubbed the New Initiatives Internship, provides undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to gain experience and exposure to public service and government.  Interns will work extensively on outreach and program development.     

“Interns in our office will be doing meaningful work,” explained Circuit Clerk Brin.   The internship experience is designed to be a hands-on experience.  Students working as interns in the Circuit Clerks office will learn how the different pieces of government and law are inter-connected and fit together to make the big picture work.   

 “Not only does the internship provide a chance for college students to earn money over the summer, but it also provides them with exposure to people, places, contacts and a professional work environment that will, ultimately, give them a truly competitive edge in the job market, “ said continued Brin.   

The application process, expected to be highly competitive, opens March 16th.  Applications will be available on the Circuit Clerks website.    

Interns must be enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university, demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills, and possess the ability to work in a fast past environment.  

“Last year we had a small group of really spectacular interns who did amazing work,” remarked Brin.  “Given the success of last summer, I am thrilled for the opportunity to grow the program this summer.  This program is something I am really proud of” he concluded.
