New York State Public Management Institute
Paid Internship
For many years, the New York State Public Management Institute (PMI) has served as an important vehicle for bringing exceptional individuals with the capacity for leadership to careers in New York State government.
Through carefully crafted job assignments, coupled with relevant training experiences, the PMI prepares participants with master's degrees in public administration, or a related field, for management positions of increasing responsibility within State agencies.
During the two-year program, interns serve in a professional position within a State agency. In addition to on-the-job learning, interns experience specialized training, rotational assignments, and mentoring for professional guidance and advice. These program components have been designed to provide the interns with the tools for building a management career in New York State government. Unlike typical short-term internships, the PMI is a full-time, paid traineeship which, upon successful completion, leads to permanent employment with New York State.
The PMI offers a unique and challenging career opportunity with excellent compensation and benefits. Most importantly, the Institute offers an opportunity to aspire to a leadership position in New York State government. The online examination application will be available from September 15, 2006 through November 15, 2006. Please visit our website at www.cs.state.ny.us/pmi or email us at pmi@cs.state.ny.us for more information.
