What is a Management Training Program?

Full-time paid management training internship programs exist in several states across the country. Some states have more training programs than others and some programs focus on state government while others are local government focused. Others still are legislative management training programs. These one to two year training programs have been designed to introduce master’s degree graduates to the world of state and local government management. Many of these long-term training programs have built in rotations between government agencies during your tenure. These program rotations are meant to provide an opportunity to explore different career paths within state and local government.

Who should apply to Management Training Programs?

Any student who is interested in exploring a career in state and local government is encouraged to apply for these programs. In addition, if you are planning to relocate to a city you are unfamiliar with, these programs can allow you to get your foot in the door to network with government officials in that community.
