U.S. Department of the Interior Internship Program provides students from high school to graduate-level school a paid opportunity to work for a Federal agency of the U.S. government. Their work will allow them to explore Federal careers while still in school and while getting paid for the work performed.
Many students who successfully complete the internship program may be eligible for a permanent job in the civil service after graduation. Eligible students include high school seniors planning to attend a 4-year college or university, community or junior college, or professional, technical, vocational, and trade school. Students pursuing advanced degree programs are also eligible to apply.
Internships are part-time or full-time and can last up to one year or for an indefinite period of time. Students may choose an internship that aligns with their career goals or field of study. After 120 days of completing the internship program, interns may be eligible to convert to a permanent position.
The U.S. Department of the Interior is responsible for protecting America’s natural resources and heritage. Among its duties are regulation of territorial governments, management of hospitals and universities, management of public parks, and protection for Indians, public lands, patents, and pensions.
