Program Information
Process
Upon submission of an application and resume, students will be selected for an interview with the Governor's Intern Program staff. After the preliminary interview with the Governor's Intern Program staff, the student can be selected for a second round of interviews with one or more agencies that will best utilize their talents and interests. This process is very effective in determining the best placement and provides an excellent opportunity for college students to improve their interviewing and job search skills. Students will be confirmed an internship before the school year concludes each semester. (In the case of the Fall semester students will be notified before school begins.)
Internships in the Fall and Spring semesters last for 18 weeks and 13 weeks in the Summer. The Governor's Intern Program strives to schedule the dates and deadlines for the internships in accordance with the academic schedule of most Georgia colleges, universities, and law schools.

He/she must be a currently enrolled junior, senior, graduate student, or law student.

(Law students are encouraged to apply for any semester and intern outside the law program.)
