Economic Policy Internship

Economic Policy interns serve as fully engaged members of our team and are vital to the work that we do. Our interns will have the opportunity to delve into a variety of projects and gain valuable knowledge and understanding of key issues facing the nation. Though not limited to this list, the Economic Policy Team's work is likely to encompass the following this fall:  labor markets, retirement security, higher education, housing, budget and tax policy, international economic policy and trade, economic mobility, and the general state and future of the economy.

Economic Policy interns engage in research, writing, project support, organizational work for the Team as a whole, and preparatory work for events. Whenever possible, our interns are encouraged to write on a topic of their choice, either as a contributor to a larger final piece or as an author of a column for our website. Interns on our team are also encouraged to take full advantage of the many events at the Center for American Progress as well as events, briefings, and hearings that take place on the Hill and throughout Washington, D.C.
