As part of Governor Cuomo’s New New York Leaders program that was launched a few months ago, the administration has taken all student internship opportunities at all state agencies and centralized them at one domain, http://NYSInternships.com .

This website even hosts links to opportunities at the Senate, Assembly, AG and Comptroller’s Office in an effort to truly make it a one-stop shop for any student interested in an internship with any New York State government entity.  Students can visit the site and apply directly to over 400 internships at state agencies or link to opportunities in other entities or branches of state government.  We want to make sure the word gets out so we can attract a diverse group of the brightest and best young minds in New York.
