Internships
Overview
MCC offers an internship program for undergraduate and graduate-level students interested in international development. Internship programs are designed to complement the intern’s educational pursuits and career goals while meeting MCC’s needs.
Interns must commit to a 16 to 32 hour work week during the academic year and a 20 to 40 hour work week during the summer. Allowances for class schedules and other situations may be made.
Due to the popularity of our internship program, not all applicants will receive an internship.
Pay and Benefits
Internships are paid at an annualized rate of $29,000 to $36,000 (a GS-5/1 to GS-7/1 equivalent) depending on the education level of the intern. In certain specialized cases, interns may be compensated at an annualized rate of up to $44,000 (GS-9/1 equivalent). Amounts are subject to prevailing federal employment pay rates.
Interns are not eligible for any Federal employee benefits.
To Apply
Applicants may apply for up to five program areas, however, MCC departments may not have internship openings.
Applicants must be willing to travel at their own expense to Washington, D.C. if selected for interviews.
