By NEW CASTLE - On Wednesday, Delaware River and Bay Authority officials announced the return of its summer internship program in a news release.
The program provides university and college students with an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a professional work environment during the summer of 2023, the agency said. Encompassing a 10-week summer commitment, the internship is comprised of on-the-job experience, project and leadership development, involvement with senior leaders and cross-functional team experiences.
“The Authority is proud to offer internships to prospective candidates who are seeking to gain real world experience and polish their skills,” said Darryl Anderson, Talent Acquisition Manager for the agency.

Mr. Anderson said participants will work on practical assignments and specific projects in their chosen career field. Since the program started in 2012, more than 55 students from Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other neighboring states have successfully completed internships at the bi-state agency.
