What We Do:

Internship Program

Internships are invaluable professional development tools and can open doors that education alone cannot. In the best programs, interns receive hands-on work experience and mentoring, which prepare them to succeed in the workforce. In Washington, DC, internships have become a standard part of any resume, introducing motivated students and recent graduates to professional networks upon which they build their careers.  

40 FINAL CANDIDATES SELECTED!

The 2013 AAPD Summer Internship Program is pleased to announce that the 2013 finalist candidates have been selected.  Forty finalist candidates have been selected from a pool of more than 175 applicants’ qualified applicants.

We began notifying finalist candidates the week of February 11, 2013.  Due to the large volume of applicants, AAPD is unable to notify each application of their individual status.  We want to thank all applicants for your interest in the program and encourage those not selected for the 2013 program to apply again next year.
