Management Assistant Program, City of Long Beach - Long Beach, CA

The  City  of  Long  Beach  is  pleased  to  announce that we are accepting
applications  for  the 2014-2015 Management Assistant Program.  The program
is one of California’s longest running management training program in local
government  and  an  excellent  opportunity  for  students  interested in a
challenging   and  dynamic  career.   The  Long  Beach  program  is  widely
recognized  as  one  of  the best apprenticeships in the nation.  Potential
candidates   must   have   completed   their   Masters   Degree  in  Public
Administration, Public Policy, Urban Planning, Business Administration or a
related field by July 2014.

The  program  provides  a structured one-year learning opportunity, through
which  Management  Assistants  gain  broad professional experience in local
government.   After  a  thorough orientation to City operations, Management
Assistants  rotate through four diverse departmental assignments, including
rotations  in  the  City  Manager’s  Office and the Department of Financial
Management.   During  these  rotational  assignments,  they  gain  in-depth
insight  into City management.  Management Assistants receive full benefits
during the year-long program and most participants continue employment with
the City following their program.

You  should  soon  receive by mail a recruitment brochure, which highlights
the  opportunities  and  benefits  of  the program, and the requirements to
apply.  All application materials must be received via email by February 3,
2014  (see  attached  brochure  for  details).   In  addition to the mailed
packet,  I  am  sending  you  this  email  in hopes that you will use it to
forward  the Management Assistant Program information to your students.  We
invite  you to encourage all qualified students in your graduate program to
apply.

You may reply to this email or contact the Department of Human Resources at
(562)  570-6372  with  questions.  Also, you may obtain more information on
the           Management           Assistant           Program          at:

Please  contact  me  if  you  have  any  upcoming job fairs the City may be
interested in participating.

We  appreciate  your  efforts  to  identify  qualified  candidates and your
continuing support of this program.  Thank you.
