RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that 63 North Carolina college, graduate and law students have been selected for summer internships with state agencies. Now in its 41st year, the N.C. State Government Internship Program is coordinated by the Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office in the Department of Administration.

“This program brings three great benefits to North Carolina,” Gov. Perdue said. “It gives our best and brightest students invaluable real-world experience in public service; it gives our state employees a helping hand during the summer vacation months, when state departments often need help the most; and it provides North Carolina citizens with extra services and important work throughout the summer.”
