Many more students are focusing on finding internships and entry level jobs in Washington D.C. Visit http://www.experience.com to find out more about government internships.

A recent survey from The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars found that 69 percent of students are more inclined to choose a career in public service. This large increase creates a number of benefits for federal government agencies.

"With baby boomers getting ready to retire from government service, agencies can utilize internships to eliminate 'brain drain' and fill vacant positions with qualified, trained personnel," Jennifer Clinton, TWC Chief Operating Officer said. "Plus, interns bring new ideas, technological skills, and many can be hired for full-time positions directly through the Student Career Employment Program."

TWC is one of the largest internship and education organizations in the country. The organization has placed more than 800 interns with hundreds of companies, non-profits and government agencies this summer alone. Interest in internships with TWC has increased by 20 percent, with the greatest rise in federal agencies.

"It is very encouraging that this generation wants to work in government to help solve our country's tough economic challenges," Norman Y. Mineta, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation, said. "In essence, they want to get involved because they can make a difference. And, there has never been a better time for the government to show this generation all that it has to offer."

TWC provides the necessary infrastructure for a student to complete a successful internship. The organization provides housing, academic classes and a series of career seminars, as well as education on what will be required at their current position.
