Internships

The beginning of a rewarding career

You've reached a pivotal moment — the time to make the transition from school to the workforce. You are likely full of excitement and uncertainty at the same time. Is this the right position for you? Where will this position lead?

Taking the right steps

When you take an internship with the BC Public Service, you aren't just filling a position for a short-term. An internship with the BC Public Service can be a stepping stone to a fulfilling, long-term career with us. Many current public service employees began with us as interns, including those in very high level positions.

We offer a wide variety of placements in a number of fields, in several ministries. Check with your school to find out more details on internship opportunities within the BC Public Service.

Aboriginal organization.
