Mayor's Intern Fellows Program

The Mayor’s Intern Fellows program offers sophomores and juniors meaningful career experiences at Dallas-area companies, universities and organizations with paid summer employment. As interns, students learn job-related skills and useful information about the company, its industry and working in general. They also shadow experienced employees and interact with company executives.  Host companies over the last three years include AT&T, Atmos Energy, Brinker International, Children’s Medical Center of Dallas, Deloitte, JPMorgan Chase, Parkland Hospital and Southern Methodist University.
