Appropriate placements are available for students from widely varying academic backgrounds.
Interns assist professional employees by assuming a partial caseload, completing research projects, analyzing program performance, working on field assignments, writing newsletters or other promotional materials and developing computerized analysis procedures. ASP interns are supervised and mentored by high-level government officials who take an active interest in their professional and personal development. An ASP internship enhances a student's resume and is invaluable in his or her later search for full-time employment after graduation. Some students have received offers of full-time employment in a New York State agency at the conclusion of their internship. ASP provides general supervision to the interns and serves as a resource to enrich the intern's overall experience.
