The
Department of Civil Service today announced that new internship
opportunities are available throughout New York State government across a
wide array of State agencies – both upstate and downstate – and
encouraged students to apply for 2017 spring semester internships prior
to the December 23, 2016 application deadline. An estimated 400 student internships are expected to be available for the spring 2017 semester.
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 attracting and developing the next generation of
leaders interested in serving our great Empire State,” said Lola W.
Brabham, Acting Commissioner of the New York State Department of Civil
Service. “I encourage students to apply and to learn first-hand the
value of a career in public service.”
New York State has a one-stop website – nysinternships.cs.ny.gov
– that allows students 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.
Approximately
1,600 students have participated in the Student Intern Program since
its launch in February 2012. A current list of available internships for
the spring 2017 semester is located here.
The Student Intern
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.
