Internship and the Page ProgramInternships
The State Government Internship Program (SGIP), established in 1970, offers paid summer internship opportunities in 29 state government Departments to college, community college, graduate and law students who are permanent residents of the State. The Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office an advocacy agency within the North Carolina Department of Administration, coordinates the program. Examples of internships include positions with the Governor's Policy and Press Offices, interns for the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, Legislative Research Assistants, various positions with state museums, aquariums, hospitals and prisons, a Legislative Assistant with the Governor's Washington, D.C. office, and several others from the coast to the mountains. The SGIP provides opportunities for most academic majors. Governor's Page Program
The Governor's Page Program, a year-round program established in 1973, provides an opportunity for high school students, including those who may be home-schooled, to spend a week in Raleigh and learn about the roles and functions of state government. Each week, Pages are assigned to a cabinet level agency or Council of State office within the state government complex to assist employees with various tasks. In addition to their daily responsibilities, Pages will have the opportunity to meet the Governor, attend press conferences, participate in service projects, and tour historic landmarks (including the State Capitol, Legislative Building, Executive Mansion, and Supreme Court).
