About the Summer Internship Programme
Our structured summer internship programme provides first-hand experience working in a museum. It's a great introduction to museum work or an opportunity to expand on previous experience. Each year, positions are available in areas such as:
• aviation or space history
• planetary science
• collections management
• digital experience
• exhibit and graphic design
• communications
• budget and finance
• education
During the 10-week programme, each intern is assigned a supervisor and works on an internship project and other tasks. In addition to their projects, interns also frequently meet as a group for presentations, professional development opportunities, enrichment activities and tours.
Where does this internship take place?
Many interns work at the Museum in Washington, DC, but others work at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, or the Paul E. Garber Preservation, Restoration, and Storage Facility in Suitland, Maryland.

The 2016 programme will run from June 1, 2016 until August 5, 2016. Interns work full-time, 40 hours a week.
