Purpose:
The DJJDP Internship Program is designed to provide students an opportunity to supplement their classroom education with practical work experience. An internship can also help facilitate a smooth transition into a student's occupational field of choice. Students with limited career-related experience and the desire to work with at risk youth are encouraged to apply.
Policies and Procedures:
Internships are available throughout the year (fall, winter, spring and summer semesters). Students who wish to work as an intern with the Department must complete a DJJDP Internship Application. Interns will be selected based on a formal screening process. Students work an average of 30 hours per week and may participate in tours and other activities designed to broaden their perspective of DJJDP.
Eligibility:
To be eligible applicants must:
- attend a college, university, community college or technical institute
- have a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) or greater on a 4.0 scale
- be classified as a sophomore, junior, senior or graduate student
How To Apply:
Internship applications may be obtained by contacting the DJJDP Human Resources Division at the address listed below or you may contact your Career Placement Office at your college/university. Resumes will not be accepted in lieu of the internship application. All applications must be signed by school representatives.
North Carolina State Government requires a signature on all application forms; therefore, we cannot accept applications through e-mail.
