RALEIGH, (SGRToday.com) - Six paid summer internships remain up for grabs in two North Carolina communities, and interested college students have until April 21 to apply, according to the Department of Administration.
The internships, in Raleigh and Pine Knoll Shores, begin May 27 and end August 1.
Interns will earn a stipend of $8.25 per hour and work 40 hours per week for 10 weeks in the summer.
The State Government Internship Program offers students real-world experience in a wide range of state government workplaces. Internships provide opportunities for students to work in their chosen field and to consider careers in public service. More than 3,600 students have participated since the program was established in 1970.
To be eligible for the program, a student must be a permanent North Carolina resident with an overall grade point average of 2.5 or better on a 4.0 scale, and have graduated from high school and subsequently completed their sophomore year of college before beginning the internship.
Community college students must complete their first year before beginning the internship. Applicants must be continuing their education in the fall following their participation in the program. Students having previously held paid internships at the Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office are not eligible to apply.
Interns are selected through a competitive process overseen by the NC Internship Council. Selection is based on a review of applications by the Council, student interviews with prospective supervisors, academic records, participation in extracurricular activities and interest in state government.
