 Applications Now Being Accepted, First Cohort Begins January 2025

LANSING, Mich. – Students pursuing a college degree now have an opportunity to gain valuable experience in state government, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury).

This month, Treasury officially launched its new paid student internship program. The goal is to offer college students a semester-long opportunity to gain direct experience within their chosen area of study, making a positive difference for the state of Michigan and its residents.

“The Treasury internship program provides an opportunity for students to obtain public-sector experience within their chosen field of study,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “Our department is looking for students from a broad range of fields, like social sciences, business and law, marketing and communications and STEM. If you’re trying to determine your path in life, consider making a difference by serving the public. Internships open the door to a fulfilling career.” 

The internship program at Treasury will offer paid, typically hybrid opportunities and are designed to provide undergraduate and graduate students with work experience and direct exposure to career opportunities in public service. 

Internships at Treasury will give students an opportunity for:  

  • Professional development: Offering opportunities to expand skills and knowledge within an intern’s area of study.
  • Real-world experience: Providing practical, hands-on experience through project assignments and daily tasks.
  • Networking and mentorship: Fostering connections with industry professionals and peers.
  • Career readiness: Preparing interns for future careers through training, mentorship and professional development opportunities.

Applications are now being accepted until Nov. 7, 2024. The first cohort of Treasury interns is anticipated to begin January 2025.
