Applications are now available for the Defense Intelligence Agency 2018 Summer Internship Program. This program provides current college students and recent graduates with the opportunity to gain practical work experience through research, report writing, briefing development and delivery, policy writing and intelligence analysis.

They are also exposed to the broader intelligence community through field trips, information sessions, and panel discussions. Interns will be appointed for a 10- to 12-week period from June through August 2018.
