Title
Substitute resolution relating to the listing of City internship opportunities online, on appropriate mobile applications and on social media.
Analysis
This resolution directs all City departments to publicly list any internship opportunities online, on appropriate mobile applications, and on social media.
Body
Whereas, Internships in City departments are an effective means to widen the hiring pipeline to accommodate recent high school and college graduates and to materially invest in the professional potential of Milwaukee’s young people; and
Whereas, In contrast to mature job seekers, young people seeking internships are less likely to search public notices for employment opportunities with the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, Attracting talented, appropriately junior candidates for City internships requires proactive steps to post notices of opportunities on the websites, mobile applications, and social media platforms that they frequent; and
Whereas, The 2026 Budget was adopted by Common Council File Number 250001 on November 7, 2025; and
Whereas, Amendment 104 placed a footnote in the 2026 Budget directing all City departments to list any internship opportunities online, on appropriate mobile applications, and on social media platforms as a matter of practice; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that all City departments shall list any internship opportunities online, on appropriate mobile applications, and on social media platforms as a matter of practice.
