Federal Diversity Internship Initiative
Discover career opportunities and find your passion through our Federal Diversity Internship Initiative
Would you want an opportunity to intern at the largest library in the world? Perhaps you’d like to experience working at the nation’s sole producer of U.S. paper currency? Or maybe you’d like to see what goes on at the federal government’s largest statistical agency.
With TWC’s Federal Diversity Internship Initiative (FDII), you could be matched to exciting internship opportunities to any of more than a dozen federal agencies. These agencies request qualified students from TWC throughout the year for paid internships that provide meaningful experiences.
As an important part of the federal agencies’ diversity and inclusion efforts, students from underrepresented backgrounds are encouraged to apply for these internship opportunities. These programs require that you are currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at an accredited U.S. higher education institution and that you have at least a 3.0 GPA. Also, these are full-time paid internship programs (40 hours per week) offered for either a 10-week summer program or a 15-week fall or spring program.
Whether you want to pursue an internship for the coming semester or for next year, now is the time to submit your Interest Form. We’ll contact you to help you find the right fit for your interests and field of study, and we’ll help you land your dream internship when the time comes.
Currently, all federal agencies are still offering virtual internships.
