Welcome, Summer Employees! We're thrilled to have our amazing group of summer employees join us! It's been a week since they started, and we couldn't be more excited about the fresh energy and enthusiasm they bring to our team. This year we had 42 new and returning employees join our summer employment program. These talented students are diving headfirst into learning about the various departments within our county, gaining valuable experience and insights along the way. From public works to community services, they're getting a firsthand look at how our county operates and contributes to the well-being of our residents. We're committed to providing them with a supportive and enriching environment where they can grow both personally and professionally. Let's give a big shoutout to our summer employees for their hard work and dedication! We look forward to seeing all the great things they'll achieve during their time with us. Welcome aboard! #SummerEmployees #Welcome #Countygovernment #FutureLeaders #polkcountyiowa #DesMoines Polk County Treasurer POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, IOWA Polk County Attorney's Office Polk County Health Department
