Mayor Nutter (file photo above) believes one way to get the best and the brightest to City Hall is to nab them while they're in high school and college, through internships.
To illustrate this, he presented Joe Savage, who got a job in the city's Office of Supportive Housing after starting as an intern:
"The Mayor's internship program really helped me take my first step towards my career in public service. So I can really say that the program is a great experience, and its truly unlocking doors to careers in public service."
So Nutter is expanding the program by setting up a six week paid summer internship program for 100 high schoolers, then an eight week unpaid summer internship program for 20 to 30 college undergrads.
