The Office of Training and Workforce Development (OTWD) is proud to announce the unveiling of the State Intern and Volunteer Program. OTWD is responsible for managing the program and the placement of interns and volunteers. OTWD collaborates with schools/universities and individuals to provide an intern and volunteer pool for DPH programs during the spring, summer and fall semesters.  This program provides a formalized and centralized process for obtaining volunteers and interns within DPH.

OTWD has successfully placed 11 interns in DPH programs this summer from Emory University and the University of Georgia. The 2012 summer interns will be highlighted each week in PHWEEK.  

In the next two weeks, expect to receive an Intern/Volunteer request form to request an intern or volunteer for the fall. For more information or questions, contact L'laina Rash at ltrash@dhr.state.ga.us or 404-463-2643.
