2017 Maine Government Summer Internship Program accepting applications
The Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine is accepting applications for the 2017 Maine Government Summer Internship Program.
The 12-week program provides full-time, paid, summer work experiences in state or local/regional agencies.
For many years, the program has offered talented college students an opportunity to participate in and contribute to Maine government. Interns provide valuable assistance to state agencies while gaining practical and professional skills in their fields of study.
Most state internships are located in the Augusta area. Internships in municipal governments are available in various locations.
The Maine Government Summer Internship Program was established in 1967 by the Maine Legislature to attract and select college students with ambition and talent for temporary internships within state government.
Applicants must be a Maine resident or attending a Maine college, and must have completed two years of college before the start of the program. The program runs from May 30 to Aug. 18. Applications are online. The deadline to apply is March 1.
More information about the program is on the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center website.
