Internship Program

 

We are committed to empowering young women and men through practical work experience and mentorship. Our internship program is designed to expose our interns to the various aspects of the Commission’s work and to legislative activity in our state. Part of the lifeblood of our commission, interns and volunteers help carry out the mission of the PCSW.

What would I do at the PCSW?

Past intern projects have included:

♦ Planning and implementing Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day for the State Legislature

♦ Writing, editing, and updating our Selected Highlights of Women’s History publication

♦ Drafting legislative fact sheets

♦ Researching, charting, and writing our Facts About the Status of Women in Connecticut publication

Internships at the PCSW may be especially beneficial for undergraduate students interested in:

• Women’s Studies
• Political Science
• Psychology
• English
• Leadership

Internship are also beneficial for graduate students interested in:

• Law school
• Social Work
• Public Policy

When can I work with the PCSW?

Although we are willing to work with any individual and his or her scheduling needs, we find that our internships typically mirror a semester schedule. Therefore, students usually intern for one semester, either in the fall, spring, or summer. Internship are only available during regular working hours. Evening and weekend hours are not currently offered.

I’m interested. What’s next?

We are not currently accepting internship applications for Fall or Winter of 2012/2013.

When internships do become available you will need to complete this form and email it along with an updated resume to the PCSW Internship Coordinator Michelle Noehren at .
