I strongly recommend an internship in the Governor’s Office. Before my internship I never considered working for Government on any level. The internship opened my eyes to the many options available to me and gave me an opportunity to experience them. I consider the work I did here a great honor and wouldn’t trade in the experience for anything in the world.”

The Governor’s Internship Program is a great opportunity for current students…and was an overwhelming experience. This program took me away from my comfort level and allowed me to explore how our government operates. I am grateful I made this decision to apply and encourage others to do the same.”

Internship Program offers hopefuls a constructive crash course in all things state government. The employees are always friendly, the work is meaningful, and overall, your time is very well spent. I recommend the program for any motivated, politically-minded student looking for a jump start into the professional world.

This internship is an incredibly valuable experience that truly allows you to fully participate in state government. You play an active role in the day to day functioning of the Governor’s Office and you gain valuable insight and skills while improving your understanding of state government. I highly recommend this internship- it is truly an incredible way to spend your time.

This experience is something that can change your entire life. Being around individuals- many of them quite young- who are so excited about public service and government is refreshing and energizing. The people you work with will be so knowledgeable and intelligent that you’ll feel yourself gleaning so much understanding about the way government works from the very place that our state government originates. There’s no better place to intern if you’re interested in government- honestly.

For anyone interested in government, politics, or any type of public affairs, I would highly recommend this program. I could not have imagined spending my summer in a more productive or positive way. The program allows you to meet countless interesting people along with giving you a terrific crash course in the world of state government.
