The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is pleased to welcome the first of several new interns to the agency for the summer in Phillip Garner, an accounting major from Trenholm State Community College. Phillip is the Vice President of the Accounting Club and on the President’s List for this semester. He plans to graduate at the end of the summer. He’s originally from Montgomery and is a graduate of Prattville High School.

ADECA has revamped its Internship Program for 2020 by introducing selected students to the full scope of the department’s role in state government. Each intern will complete three mini-terms during their time at the agency, beginning with the 2020 Census. The second mini-term will give participants a chance to rotate through the ADECA divisions, offering an opportunity to learn about the full scope of the agency’s programs and services. The internship wraps up with the third mini-term where participants select an ADECA division as a “major” to spend the remaining weeks of their internship with a deep dive in their chosen area.
