2018 Maine Government Summer Internship Program accepting applications
The Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine is accepting applications for the 2018 Maine Government Summer Internship Program.
The 12-week program, which runs from May 29 through Aug. 17, provides full-time, paid, summer work experiences in town and city governments, as well as Maine state government agencies.
Most internships are located in the Augusta area. A select number of internships will be available in other 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.
The program offers 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.
Applicants must be a Maine resident or attending a Maine college or university, and must have completed two years of college before the start of the program. All majors may apply and positions are available in a variety of fields. Applications are online. The deadline to apply is March 1.
Municipal and state government requests for interns also can be submitted online.
More information about the program is available on the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center website or by contacting Peggy McKee at 581.1644 or margaret.mckee@maine.edu.
