Internship Opportunities in New Mexico
Master of Public Policy Internship Hub
Here are some tips for your search:
Internships by season
Most internships are for specific seasons so ensure you are applying for the correct season. Many have deadlines that are 3-4 months before the start of the internship, starting your search early will ensure you have enough time to complete your application and get feedback before submitting it.
Internships are usually available within NM as well as in Washington D.C. for the summer or specific time periods
Make sure you are applying for the right location and if it is outside of NM be sure to consider your housing, transportation, and other needs you will have. Contact their office to see if they provide any support or if they know of organizations that provide support.
Summer Rush
If you are specifically looking for a summer internship, make sure you apply as soon as applications are open, include anything that will set you apart from other interns in similar programs, and if you are from NM be sure to emphasize that. Many elected officials prefer someone from NM for internship positions.
