Help OCMA Support Local Government Internships!

Our community thrives when members share opportunities with one another—and we need your help to keep our Jobs & Internships page vibrant and up to date.

If your organization is offering an internship, or if you know of one that would benefit our members, we invite you to add it to our Jobs page. Sharing opportunities helps students and emerging professionals gain valuable experience while strengthening our network as a whole.

To add your postings:

  • Visit https://www.ocmaohio.org/login/ and log in to your OCMA account.
  • Post your internship opening just like you would share a full-time position but select “internship” in the drop-down menu under “Job Type”.
  • Make sure you put a deadline to fill the position so we can keep our list current.
  • Link to the actual posting on your website so candidates know how to apply!
