Fellowship Opportunities
Our fellowship and internship opportunities reflect our commitment to creating a talented and diverse workforce dedicated to public service. Our programs are designed to enable individuals to learn about the wide variety of work we perform.
Bunker Hill Community College Learn & Earn Program
The OIG partners with Bunker Hill Community College (BHCC) through their Learn and Earn Program. The partnership between BHCC and the OIG continues to support our commitment in providing opportunities to under-represented communities as previously represented in the Dr. Frances Burke Fellowship for Public Service.
Like the Dr. Frances Burke Fellowship, the Learn & Earn Internship support interns in a way that promotes diversity, equity and inclusivity, welcoming BHCC students who are interested in beginning a career in public service and who may come from underrepresented communities.
We believe that through this partnership, we will be able to grow and develop our internship offerings in a way that will continue to add value to both the office and the individuals we serve within the Commonwealth, while continuing to honor the legacy of Dr. Frances Burke (1928–2016), a Suffolk University professor and advocate for ethics in government and women in public office. In the late 1970s, she served on the Ward Commission, which led to the creation of the OIG.
Justice Geraldine S. Hines Legal Fellowship
Inspired by the groundbreaking career of Justice Geraldine S. Hines, the OIG’s Hines Legal Fellowship is a competitive two-year program for new lawyers pursuing a career in public service. Fellows gain hands-on experience and develop core legal skills through work on investigations, audits, civil recoveries, training, internal operations, and policy initiatives at an independent government agency.
John William Ward Public Service Fellowship
The OIG proudly supports the John William Ward Public Service Fellowship, an independent program for fifteen Boston Latin School juniors and seniors. Fellows spend the summer working in the offices of public officials across government, the judiciary, or the press.
The fellowship honors John William Ward, who chaired the 1979–1981 Ward Commission, which uncovered nearly $8 billion in wasteful state construction spending. The Commission’s findings led to the creation of the OIG.

Professional Development
We support our employees’ professional growth through mentoring, training, and certification opportunities.

We also offer office-wide sessions on workplace safety, ethics, fraud reporting, implicit bias, and harassment prevention.
To further professional development, we sponsor certifications through organizations such as the Association of Inspectors General and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners.
Employees in supervisory roles have also participated in the Commonwealth’s year-long CORE Management Program, which teaches participants how to align leadership-readiness strategies with business priorities.
