The New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development (NJDOL) is dedicated to cultivating future leaders, especially in the area of public service. That is why we developed a robust summer internship program focused on providing professional opportunities within the Department that utilize and build interns’ knowledge, skills, and abilities.
The project-based work experience opportunities for interns are available within NJDOL’s respective divisions and provide interns with meaningful assignments aimed to prepare them for a productive career. Interns will conduct research, compile information, develop action plans, report findings, and create an end-product. To promote a learning environment and foster a networking culture, supervisors will be assigned to assist, mentor, and provide constructive feedback to interns throughout the program.
