Internships for Foreign Affairs - Public Policy Major

[Anonymous]

My kid is majoring in Foreign Affairs and Public Policy. Can you recommend some off the beaten path internship opportunities. She is applying to internships on the Hill, and some government agencies. Any private sector suggestions?

Think tanks? Try Brookings.

Try RAND who laid off 11% of their researchers and seem to be hiring seasonal interns. https://www.rand.org/jobs.html

nonprofits for sure, there are also alot of association policy internships to be had.

My DS was also a foreign affairs/public policy major. He did two association internships in policy and two internships on the Hill. He is now a staff assistant in the Senate hoping to work his way up.

Good for her. We need young people who haven't been jaded by the dysfunction in Washington yet.

Fingers crossed she can find a decent paying job when she graduates.
