U.S. State Department manages several student employment programs for students to get experience in a foreign affairs environment through first-hand knowledge. Some of their students work in Washington, DC, and others have the opportunity to work at embassies overseas. The deadline to apply for summer internships is November 1. Most State Department internships are unpaid.
The State Department is particularly looking for science and engineering students to work in the Department and in embassies worldwide. The key characteristics of these internship candidates, in addition to their technical training, should be a real interest in international relations and the challenges of applying and controlling technology in building a peaceful and sustainable world. They need to be mature, have excellent analytical and writing skills, work well with people, and possess a certain tolerance for the bureaucratic rules and regulations that abound in government institutions.
