National Security Internship Program
In cooperation with campus partners, the Whole of Government Center of Excellence facilitates internships for undergraduate and graduate students in national security opportunities. Our students are placed into elite positions with the Combatant Commands, war colleges, military bases, intelligence agencies, and other public policy departments.
WGC works with federal stakeholders and students to create transformative opportunities to serve the nation and Commonwealth of Virginia. Together with their supervisors, students are exposed to real-world, real-impact work while strengthening the nation’s security and trained workforce.
With many of these positions, students are granted a security clearance, which can lead to other opportunities in the broader national security community. We also welcome students who have received their internship in a national-security field through other means and provide them with guidance.
