North Carolina or Rhode Island?

If you are a student interested in opportunities in either state take the time to apply for two great summer programs: North Carolina State Government Internship Program or the Rhode Island State Government Internship Program. These fabulous programs run by the state government are the only ones we are aware of which run formal (and truly organized) summer internship programs.
The deadlines are rapidly approaching, so Winter Break is a great time to be working on your applications. For further information and application requirements, click the links below.
