# Intern Ad Hoc Committee - November 10, 2026

Richland County’s Intern Ad Hoc Committee met on November 10, 2026, to review a revised postsecondary education internship program. Human Resources described eligibility requirements, department participation, supervision, screening, and proposed training. Seventeen departments had expressed interest, and the county estimated the available $75,000 budget through June 30, 2027, could support about 11 interns. No contract award or program-approval vote occurred; the item was informational, with further revisions and review planned before the program returns for consideration.

Committee members discussed supervisor training and mentorship, aligning internship projects with students’ and universities’ goals, recruitment partnerships, and a proposed summer curriculum. Legal and Risk Management will further review the intern release and indemnity language, including its relationship to workers’ compensation coverage. Human Resources planned to update the materials for upcoming committee discussions; the target start date for accepting interns was not established. Motions approving the meeting minutes and agenda, and adjourning the meeting, passed.
