What does that city job title actually mean?

City job titles can be hard to read. Pick one to see what the work is, which majors fit, and how the city hires for it.

Search titles or skillsTry "spreadsheets", "maps" or "writing"

City staff screens are in English. Student screens are in English and Spanish.

Post a civic micro-project

A good project takes 4 to 8 weeks for a team of 3 or 4, needs no private data, and gives the city something it will use. The instructor gives weekly feedback; you join a kickoff call, a midpoint call and score the final work (about 3 to 4 hours in all).

Project title Plain words. Example: "Count park use on two Saturdays" Department What the team will do 2 to 4 sentences a first-year student can follow

Weeks (4 to 8)

How it counts

Safety and fairness checks (all required) This project uses no personal, confidential or security-sensitive data. Any data is public or already anonymized by staff. A named staff member will give feedback within 5 business days and score the final work with the shared rubric. This is a learning project, not a replacement for a city employee's work, and it follows our labor agreements. Staff review the work before the city publishes or uses it. In-person tasks happen only where the city's risk manager has confirmed coverage.

Interview pool

Students whose team scored 12 or more out of 16 and who chose to share. Each one gets a guaranteed first interview for your paid, at-will part-time intern openings if they meet the minimum qualifications. The GPA rule is waived for pool students.

Blind first review: hide names and colleges

City supervisors score the work with a shared 4-part rubric. A second supervisor rescores every fifth project to check consistency. No AI scores, ranks or screens anyone. Permanent civil-service jobs still use the normal exam; pool students get an alert and coaching when one opens.

Fairness and results tracker

Made-up numbers. No pilot has run. This shows the layout a city and college would publish each term. With about 60 students, results are shown as counts, not percentages.

Results: pilot sections vs comparison sections

Comparison sections are other sections of the same courses that did not use CityProof. Data comes from the city's applicant tracking system and the internship program's records, for students who consent.

Sample results against a comparison group
Outcome	Pilot sections (60 students)	Comparison sections (58 students)	Target

Fairness check (made-up counts)

Does each group reach the interview pool in proportion to its size in the pilot classes? Students self-report this, it is optional, and only totals are shown. "Expected" is the pool size times the group's share of the class.

Sample fairness check
