Internships

The Public Policy & International Affairs Fellowship Program encourages its Fellows to attain experiential internship to strengthen their professional skills and gain exposure to various organizations. Through these experiences, PPIA Fellows increase their competitive advantage needed to pursue their educational and/or professional careers.

In 2004 PPIA created the Public Policy Internship Program with funding from the Kellogg Foundation. The Public Policy Internship Program was very successful. It provided financial support to 26 PPIA Fellows interested in pursing careers in public policy.

This year, PPIA supports its Fellows in their endeavors by creating the Pipeline Partnership program with various organizations to provide paid internships. PPIA Fellows interested in this program should visit Alumni-Net.
