Internship Program

The Colorado Department of Transportation's (CDOT's) Process Improvement internship program is a partnership. Veterans gain valuable experience in process improvement and related disciplines, while CDOT benefits from the insight, talent and enthusiasm of the Veteran. In addition to providing meaningful, real-world work, our internship program also gives Veterans the opportunity to network with fellow interns and CDOT employees through intern program activities and events.

A Process Improvement Intern can find themselves working on such things as: documenting innovations and creating videos to share with others throughout the state and beyond; working on databases; engaging with larger business improvement projects to help teams work through significant issues and executing improvements; supporting the Concept to Project Program behind the scenes with websites, dashboards, complex spreadsheets, etc. ; working directly with business improvement project leaders to solve problems, provide support and provide fresh perspectives; flowcharting processes to help teams determine current state, future state and gaps; documenting requirements for technology improvements; supporting Rapid Improvement Events and learning about facilitation, Lean and Change Management; writing articles about improvements at CDOT, diving deep into how change management helps people succeed and sharing this knowledge with the world; presenting at a variety of venues to share with others CDOT's story on how we improve and ensure that everyone is successful with change.
