Georgia County Internship Program

The Georgia County Internship Program (GCIP) offers first-hand internship experiences to undergraduate and graduate level college students in county government. Each summer, internships are offered across a broad spectrum of academic disciplines ranging from accounting to wildlife sciences in county government offices throughout the state. Since the program was created, 540 students have filled internship positions in 91 counties throughout the state.

GCIP Goals:

  • Enable counties to hire talented college students for specific projects that will benefit county government and citizens
  • Give students a chance to learn first-hand about the role of counties and functions of local government
  • Provide practical work experiences that students can use in the job market upon graduation.
  • Inspire young people to a life of public service leadership.
