Recognizing the need for assistance with the county’s computer operations, but wanting to save money, the Auglaize County Commissioners have created an internship.
Nathaniel A. Schumacher, a student in the Information Technology (IT) department at James A. Rhodes State College, begins the part-time job Monday. He plans to work during regular business hours.
His pay rate is $8 per hour through Oct. 30, when the internship terminates and his hours are to be less than 20 a week.
“Previously, we had two full-time individuals in the department until a year and a half ago when one left,” Commissioner John Bergman said. “We’ve been looking for someone since. The need has not gone away. This is an integral part of business today.”
He said they decided to try the intern route for a period to see how it works out, factoring in the cost savings.
Schumacher was chosen for the position after several students recommended by college officials were interviewed.
“This should allow the computer operations manager time to work on more long term projects,” Bergman said. “The intern can focus on more daily needs types of tasks and the smaller priority items.”
Bergman said once the internship is complete they will review it to determine what may be needed subsequently.
