This program offers internship opportunities to college students and state employees.
Internship Opportunities for College Students
The Governor's Internship Program provides college students an opportunity through internships to gain valuable work experience and knowledge in various areas of state government leading to a potential career in public service. Student interns are also encouraged to seek academic credit for the internship experience with their college or university.
