Georgia Parole Board offers paid internships | State

“We are excited to be able to offer this opportunity to interested college students meeting our criteria,” Barnett said. “Interns will be subjected to a broad spectrum of not only law enforcement areas but also traditional business functions.

“The Georgia Parole Board is one of the state’s top agencies. Successful applicants will learn from true professionals. I want to thank our board members for supporting the paid internship program.”

The State Board of Pardons and Paroles’ Internship Program has the goal of providing a unique, multifaceted approach for interns to gain insight and exposure to specialized areas within a law enforcement agency. Interns will have the opportunity to work in various divisions and units of the agency, including human resources, budget, victim services, clemency and field services.

Board officials say they are looking for dynamic, energetic interns eager to assist work units with assigned projects and tasks. Successful interns will assist supervisors, engage in upcoming projects, support current campaigns, provide administrative assistance, offer technical support to customers and staff, review and process transactions, and ensure compliance with agency procedures and policies in their assigned area.

Students must be U.S. citizens or lawful aliens, junior, senior, or graduate-level college students in good standing, with a minimum GPA of 2.5, and must have a recommendation from a faculty member.
