Carl Albert Public Internship Program


 

State agencies interested in participating in the Carl Albert Public Internship Program (CAPIP) select, appoint, and pay eligible applicants. Undergraduates are employed for one or two academic semesters or 999 hours. Executive Fellows (graduate) Interns may be employed for up to two years and are eligible for health and retirement benefits. Executive Fellows who successfully complete a two-year internship are eligible for appointment to a position in the classified or unclassified state service. Employment through CAPIP is neither automatic nor guaranteed.

Undergraduate Internship Program:
In order to be eligible for appointment to a CAPIP Undergraduate Internship, an applicant must have:

  • Completed 24 credit hours of undergraduate-level coursework, and
  • Achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale in all undergraduate-level coursework.

Executive Fellows Internship Program:
In order to be eligible for appointment to a CAPIP Executive Fellows Internship, an applicant must have:

  • Completed an undergraduate degree,
  • Completed 6 credit hours of graduate-level coursework, and
  • Achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or 7.0 on a 12.0 scale in all graduate-level coursework.

Why state agencies use CAPIP:

  • Interns bring a wealth of talent and the latest technology to an agency.
  • Interns provide needed person-power at times when agencies are doing more with less.
  • Interns do not count against an agency's FTE limit.
  • Interns fill gaps in the agency talent pool.
  • CAPIP opens beneficial avenues of communication with the state's colleges and universities.
  • CAPIP may assist agencies in attaining Affirmative Action employment objectives.
  • Agencies have the opportunity to evaluate potential employees before offering them permanent employment.

Why students participate in CAPIP:

  • Each intern is paid by the agency where he or she works.
  • Executive Fellows are enrolled in the state health insurance and retirement benefits programs, if expected to work one thousand (1,000) or more hours per year.
  • Executive Fellows are granted leave benefits commensurate with regular state employees.
  • It's a great way to get much-needed work experience.
  • It provides the opportunity to make valuable contacts and lifelong friends.
  • It's a way to get on the inside track for future career opportunities.
