Annual Events

National Intern Day

Created in 2017 by WayUp as a way to celebrate and honor interns all over. Every fourth Thursday in July, City of Austin's Talent Strategy Division holds a celebration for City of Austin interns! By providing networking opportunities, headshots, and a chance to connect with other interns, the hope is to make them feel welcomed and appreciated.

Annual Veterans Appreciation Day

Created as City of Austin employees over 1600 military veterans and as a way to honor their service, the Talent Strategy Division holds a luncheon. There is nothing that could ever amount to the sacrifice that many have made, but this event is one way to convey that the City of Austin recognizes all they have done for our country.
