Employee Perspectives - DSHS Internships

“The DSHS internship program is a tremendous way for the department to discover our future leaders while at the same time providing students with the opportunity to experience how we transform the lives of so many. As someone who started their career more than 35 years ago through an internship I can attest to the value of the program and how it can shape the path to a career in public service,” said Adolfo Capestany, Senior Director of the Office of Communications, which had two interns over the course of the summer.

"DSHS is a great place to work. At DSHS I learned not only about a wide range of great services but also about my community. DSHS truly transforms lives. In addition, I felt strongly supported to do my job. I always enjoyed working with colleagues and community members." - Asadullah Mohammadi, DSHS Administrative Intern 2018
