On National Intern Day, the Department of Civil Service announced
more than 250 new student internship opportunities currently available
for the upcoming fall semester throughout New York State government and
reminded students to apply prior to the September 13, 2019 application
deadline. Internships are available across a wide array of State
agencies and include opportunities in human services, environmental
conservation, criminal justice, health care, and engineering.
The Department of Civil Service has created a one-stop website – www.nysinternships.cs.ny.gov
– that allows applicants to view job descriptions, create profiles,
specify occupational interests, and upload resumes, writing samples, and
letters of recommendation. A list of available internships for the fall
2019 Session is available by visiting: www.nysinternships.cs.ny.gov/
“Under Governor Cuomo’s leadership, New York State is attracting and
developing our future leaders in State government and providing them
with valuable skills and hands-on experience that will assist them as
they step out into the workplace,” said Lola W. Brabham, Acting Commissioner of the New York State Department of Civil Service.
“Today and every day, let us thank our student interns for their
valuable contributions to State government and their efforts in building
a better and stronger New York for all.”
The Student Intern Program is part of Governor Cuomo’s New
New York Leaders Initiative, which focuses on attracting new and
highly-skilled individuals to State government through both internship
and fellowship programs. Through this program, students are exposed to
the work of governing, while gaining valuable hands-on experience
serving the people and interacting with government leaders and
policy-makers.
Student internships are available to undergraduate and graduate
students at colleges and universities throughout New York State, as well
as New York residents enrolled elsewhere. Each intern works in a
particular area within an Executive Branch agency or department.
Opportunities include both paid and unpaid positions. Academic credit
may be given for internships depending on the policy of the intern’s
educational institution.
