Local Internships

This will probably be my LAST internship post for a while.  Deadlines are approaching.  However, I did feel obliged to post a little about local, that is North Carolina, internships.  Not everyone wants to move to NYC or LA or DC for the summer.  And there are plenty of great ops right here in our own back yard. I thought I would share a few.

Okay, this one has expired, but thought I would mention it for future reference for those looking ahead because it is a rarity:  A PAID INTERNSHIP.  Woot woot.

Okay, sorry I am late on this one.. Here are the ops:

Some of the program's past internships have included: 

  • introducing visitors to reptiles at the Museum of Natural Sciences
  • working in the Office of the Governor
  • publicizing the State Fair
  • tracking the nesting patterns of loggerhead turtles on Bear Island
  • clerking at the N.C. Court of Appeals
  • assisting NC companies to compete in international markets.
Internships are offered in virtually all areas of state government. Up to one-hundred paid internships are available for 10 weeks each summer for undergraduates, graduate students and those in professional schools.

Consider this one for next year.. 


The link below takes you to a website that lists North Carolina Internship Opportunities.. Included are companies like Deloitte (accounting), WCNC (television), Family Services of Lower Cape Fear, State Games of NC, (Durham),  and a boat-load of internships with a company called Cummins, Inc in Rocky Mt.  Also some with IBM, Fox Broadcasting, Netapp, Dow Chemical.. Allstate, Wake Med.. LOTS of variety in business, little in the way of the artsier stuff I have blogged about in the past. 


The DURHAM BULLS started an internship program in 2009.

REX HOSPITAL offers internships as well..

I could go on forever here.  Actually, all you have to do is use the google-machine.  Think of a place you can work, then put the word internship behind it, and fire away. 

Good Luck.  Lemme know if you need any help!
