Business, Mission, and Administrative Support Interns

Do you want to play a key role in the development of the nation's cyber and physical infrastructure advisors' workforce? Then we want you!

If you are a student interested in business or the day-to-day function of a government agency and supporting its vital work to defend the nation, then CISA is THE place where you want to work. CISA collaborates with private industry and government partners to defend against today's threats and build a more secure and resilient infrastructure for the future.

As an intern, you will have the opportunity to be placed in a wide variety of offices with differing functions across the agency. Your duties and assignments will reflect the mission and the work of the assigned office and may be focused on traditional business/management support functions or mission support functions related to the security of critical or digital infrastructure. Students will perform duties in business administration, business management, office management, finance and accounting, communications, security and risk analysis, program management, and/or project management. You will partake in a variety of robust and rich experiences, such as coordinating logistics across divisions for major conferences, organizing activities at large events and managing the congressional correspondence process.

So, what are you waiting for? Apply today! Join us!
