One change I would make from the application text: I would not publicly list the internship as simply “$15/hour” until the current applicable Montgomery County wage requirement is confirmed. The posting can safely say “paid hourly internship; compensation will meet applicable Maryland and Montgomery County wage requirements.” This also keeps the MTIP posting aligned with the payroll requirement.
