MONTGOMERY – Gov. Kay Ivey is offering an opportunity for college students to gain firsthand experience in state government as interns.
The application period for the Governor’s Office Summer Internship Program is now open, Ivey announced. The nine-week program offers college students a unique opportunity to learn about government operations while working alongside dedicated professionals in the executive branch.
A staunch advocate for education and a former teacher, Ivey encourages all college students, who are potentially interested in obtaining experience in the governmental sector, to apply for the program.
“I am looking forward to welcoming a new class of bright and talented students to join us in Montgomery this summer,” she said. “Our interns are an integral part of the Governor’s Office, working closely with my team to address important issues that affect the people of our state.
“This program is an excellent opportunity for our young people to gain a deeper understanding of how our government works and make a meaningful impact on Alabama.”
Applicants must be college students with a strong interest in public service and government. Selected interns will work directly with staff, participate in special projects and have the chance to engage with key issues impacting Alabama.
The internship will run from May 26-July 25. The deadline to apply is close of business March 21.
