About The Position

This position pays $25.00 per hour. This position will be focusing on developing an internal dashboard to support operations, program evaluations, and day to day decision making for the Weld County Mobile Health Unit (MHU). The goal is to provide program managers and leadership with a clear, practical way to see how the MHU is performing, track progress toward goals, and use data to guide planning and operations. The dashboard will be built as a living tool that evolves over time—starting with core metrics most useful to the team and expanding as priorities shift, new data become available, and staff provide feedback.

This internship is intended only for a current student completing required practicum or applied learning experience hours as part of their graduate program and will run from May 11, 2026 - August 21, 2026.
