The Governor’s Internship Program (GIP) assists college students in locating meaningful summer employment with West Virginia government agencies, private businesses, and nonprofit organizations.

Ideally, students are placed in internships where they can gain experience relevant to their academic interests while learning under and being supervised by a professional in that field. Internships generally last nine to thirteen weeks and pay at least minimum wage.
