The Career
Municipal administration is a rewarding career that takes a special kind of person. A municipal administrator enjoys dealing with people, wants to make a significant impact in their community, and is of the highest integrity and professionalism.
Duties of an administrator in a rural municipality (RM) are varied and interesting, and the intern will work under the authority of provincial legislation and direction of the host municipality’s council. Some work areas include managing municipal operations and services, elections, revenues and expenditures of the municipality, bylaws, planning and development, interpreting and applying legislation, maintaining good communications and public relations, assessment and taxation, financial records and budgeting.
The Internship
Placements will be a 52-week paid position in a rural municipal office located in a rural area in Saskatchewan. The intern must be interested in a career in municipal administration, prefer to work in an office, enjoy meeting people and would like to make their home in the neighborly atmosphere of a rural community. Interns will experience life in a community that is welcoming and will gain work experience in all areas of municipal administration.
