Elk Grove Park District Overview The Elk Grove Park District is a special district of government located in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. The District maintains approximately 473 acres, including 43 parks, a community athletic field with football, soccer, and baseball fields, 19 public tennis courts, and several public facilities. These include both an indoor and outdoor water park, a recreation center, a golf course, a senior center and preschool, an indoor and outdoor skate park, and an Administration Building, among others. The District currently has roughly 75 full-time staff and employs hundreds of part-time staff of all ages during the summer months at our seasonal facilities, making it one of Elk Grove Village’s largest employers.

Program Overview This is an 8- to 10-week internship program (depending on your school’s requirements and your availability), with scheduled hours of 32 hours per week (Tuesday - Friday).

The waterpark sees thousands of visitors on it’s busiest days; the I.T. environment at the facility includes desktops, point-of-sale hardware, wireless and wired networking, and surveillance systems.

As part of this assignment, you will collect data from various I.T. systems and provide professional reports and status updates to the I.T. Team on a regular basis.

Additionally, you will also spend three days embedded with other departments within the agency to gain an understanding of the user side of the equation and to expose you to other elements of working for a Park District and/or Government agency.

The Superintendent of I.T. will conduct a mid-term and final evaluation with you, and will be available to answer any questions you might have during the course of the internship.
