Welcome to the U.S. Department of Labor's Internship Program Web site. Secretary Elaine L. Chao and the Department of Labor (DOL) have welcomed students across the nation, to participate in the Student Internship Program. The Student Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to learn about how federal government agencies operate and to interact with the leaders of various agencies within DOL.
