SPD > Summer Internships Summer Internships

Program Information

The Governor's Public Service Summer Internship Program was created in 1989 to introduce bright and motivated college students to the operations and officials of state government. When reviewing applications, the Steering Committee pays close attention to those students who have demonstrated their abilities through their academic and extracurricular achievements.

Governor's Summer Interns are provided the opportunity to work with state agency officials as well as participate in a Speakers Series which features various elected officials, state agency directors, and other government representatives. Previous series have included visits from the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and a panel of young executives in state government.

In addition, students are encouraged to interact with one another regarding their varying experiences and to attend any meetings and forums throughout their agency/facility's complex that are open to the public and would enhance their summer experience.

How do I apply?

This year, students will apply for internship positions on the State Personnel Department's Employment Web site, the same way that any prospective state employee would apply for a position in state government.

Once you have entered the job bank, enter "intern" in the "Keywords" section, then click the search button. All Governor's Summer Intern positions should appear in the "Job Postings List".

Visit the job bank.
