Intern Projects:

The HR Summer Interns will have the opportunity to support various enterprise-wide projects and are encouraged to bring forward their creative ideas and fresh approaches to our workflows. They will also have the opportunity to play a key role in the maturation of our talent development work and program creation for our HR Consulting population as well as supporting the redesign efforts to streamline processes, workflows and structure to gain efficiencies and alignment across NCAL HR. Examples of particular projects might include – and are not limited to - the development of a pilot process for rotating HR Consultants across service areas and throughout the HR function, identifying, developing and tracking success measures for various internal development offerings and programs (including a newly launched NCAL HR Mentorship Program), as well as supporting work we’re doing to address employee engagement across the region. HR Summer Interns will have significant opportunity for leadership networking, informational interviews, presenting to leadership in various forums and learning each area of the HR function through learning sessions, shadowing, short term assignments and project management. This position will report to the Executive Consultant for the Sr. Vice President of NCAL Human Resources.
