Internship Options

Apply to a wide range of internship opportunities available to you only in D.C. Try out the career of your dreams, develop your skills, build your resume, make lifelong connections, and gain future job prospects.

After you’re accepted to the program, you’ll gain access to Cornell in Washington’s internship database, which features more than 1,000 internships secured by previous CIW students, a plethora of internship search resources and one-on-one advising with our associate director. We are not able to directly place students into internships – the organizations have their own selection process – but our staff can help students be competitive for the most selective internships by helping students with resume development, crafting cover letters, and honing their interview skills.
