MaineStateInternship

Greetings Faculty and Staff,

I’d like to remind you of an internship opportunity that has been very valuable to many of our students in the past. The Maine State Government Summer Internship Program, administered by the Margaret Chase Smith Policy Center at the University of Maine, places students with Maine governmental agencies in Augusta and around the state. They are 13 week, full-time, paid appointments. It is a competitive application process and last summer 3 out of 44 recipients were from UMF. Our students interned in a number of departments ranging from the Department of Conservation to the Department of Public Safety, Office of State Fire Marshal.

I have attached the program information sheet if you have students that might be interested. The application deadline is March 15, 2010. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have or assist any of your students with their applications.

Hope this helps,

Stephen Davis Career Counselor Center for Human Development University of Maine at Farmington 207-778-7232 stephen.davis@maine.edu
