The Governor’s Summer Internship Program (GSIP) introduces Maryland’s best and brightest college students to the challenges and rewards of working within state government.
GSIP has the following two goals in mind:
- To instill a knowledge and understanding of the purpose and functions of state government in the emerging leadership of the next generation
- To attract some of Maryland’s best and brightest students to public service upon completion of their formal education.
During the GSIP program, interns work on substantive projects with senior-level public administrators and policy makers in departments or policy areas that closely correspond with each intern’s field of study or career interests. Duties often include attending meetings, drafting correspondence, tracking legislation, and researching policy options.
