"BART provided me a new perspective for Engineering that none of my previous experienced did. As an intern, my journey at BART was super exceptional and full of fun." "During my internship, I learned the importance of collaborating with different Engineering and Maintenance disciplines on practical projects. BART has taught me how to effectively/professionally communicate my ideas and objections not only to my own team but also to other related teams working on the same project." "The BART internship gave me exactly the opportunity to apply the knowledge I had to real life application that can affect 450,000 people a day. I am proud that my project can improve overall safety for the BART power system as well as the BART passengers. Aside from that, the teamwork and time management skills I learned from the summer internship can also be beneficial in my future career."

Read more about our mandated services . The Alameda County District Attorney's Office is comprised of approximately 150 attorneys, 60 inspectors, 30 Victim-Witness advocates and claim specialists, as well as a variety of administrative, finance, and communications professionals.
