County Executive's Internship Program

County Executive's Internship Program Anne Arundel County's Internship Program is designed to identify and develop the future talents of students throughout Anne Arundel County. The internships are an extension of academic instruction and provide the opportunity to turn classroom instruction into practical application in the workplace.
