Job Description
2022 Summer Internship (Graduate Students)
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
Summary
The Congressional Budget Offices summer internship program provides an excellent opportunity for graduate students to experience and observe the budget process and policymaking at the federal level. Most of CBOs employees are in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, and the internships will ideally be conducted in person. However, CBO is closely monitoring developments and is sensitive to safety, so it is prepared to conduct the internships virtually if necessary.
Duties
Students must be pursuing graduate academic programs in economics, public policy, health policy, mathematics, statistics, or a related field. Those pursuing a MBA will not be considered this year. CBO is also unable to consider undergraduate students for the summer internship program. All CBO summer internships require solid writing skills and the ability to communicate clearly and concisely. Familiarity with computer programming, statistics, econometrics, and other quantitative methods is desirable. Ideal candidates also have exceptional interpersonal and analytical skills. U.S. citizens are eligible for consideration, as are noncitizens who are permanent residents of the United States and seeking citizenship. Before applying, noncitizens should refer to CBOs information about citizenship requirements or contact careers@cbo.gov to determine employment eligibility.
