The New York State Department of Civil
Service today announced that more than 400 internship opportunities are
available throughout New York State government across a wide array of
State agencies - both upstate and downstate - and reminded students to
apply for 2016 Fall semester internships prior to the September 9
application deadline. More than 1,500 students have participated in the
Student Intern Program since its launch in February 2012.
The Student Intern Program is one component of Governor Cuomo’s New
New York Leaders Initiative, which is focused on drawing new and
highly-skilled individuals to the State workforce through both a
fellowship and internship program. Through this program, undergraduate
and graduate students are exposed to the work of governing, while
gaining valuable hands-on program experience and interaction with
government leaders and policy-makers.
“Governor Cuomo is committed to ensuring that the state workforce is diverse, talented and prepared to meet tomorrow’s
challenges,” said Lola W. Brabham, Acting Commissioner of the New York
State Department of Civil Service. “Through these public service
internships, we will continue to shape the next generation of leaders by
providing them with valuable skills and marketable work experience that
will assist them as they begin new careers.”
The Student Intern Program Internship Portal is hosted by
the New York State Department of Civil Service and allows applicants to
view job descriptions, create profiles, specify occupational interests,
and upload resumes, writing samples, and letters of recommendation.
Students can apply for multiple internships at the same time.
The program is open to graduate and undergraduate students at
colleges and universities throughout New York State, as well as New York
State residents enrolled elsewhere. Opportunities include paid and
unpaid positions and internships may provide academic credit depending
on the policy of the intern’s educational institution.
Three internship sessions are offered each year: Spring, Summer, and Fall.
