Spring Internship 2024 - Immigration and Economic Policy

Bipartisan Policy Center

Bipartisan Policy Center

Washington, DC, USA
Posted on Wednesday, September 20, 2023
Apply

Project Background

Immigration has been a contentious issue in the United States for decades and has grown increasingly controversial, with strong emotional and political rhetoric on both sides. Despite the heated public debate, we have found that a majority of Americans agree on several major issues in immigration. Furthermore, like many controversial issues, only through bipartisan collaboration will sustainable change and systemic improvements be made.

BPC currently views legal immigration as the best consensus focus area for immigration reform. While maintaining support for comprehensive immigration reform, our recent work has emphasized the economic, international competitiveness, and national security arguments for legal immigration reform and, in particular, the importance of legislative change to improve the system to meet societal and economic needs across the skill spectrum.

Through public events, written products, collaboration, and outreach with Capitol Hill, the project targets its efforts where it perceives opportunities to positively impact the debate.

Responsibilities
The intern will work with staff on research and writing, preparing material for private and public discourse, and monitoring current events and congressional activity. The internship will also include engagement in other functions of the project such as event planning, fundraising, and communications. Interns will be asked to handle multiple assignments and deadlines. As with any job, project needs and the intern’s skill set will play a key role in determining precise responsibilities.

Qualifications

The ideal applicant:

  • Possesses strong research and writing skills.
  • Communicates clearly and effectively.
  • Attends to detail and holds own work to high standards.
  • Effectively manages competing and changing priorities.
  • Has a demonstrable interest in immigration policy and economic policy
  • Is comfortable working with those of differing opinions and backgrounds.
 
SPRING PROGRAM
During the fall and spring semesters, internships are part-time and paid. Interns will receive a stipend of at $3000. Applicants must currently be enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate program or a recent graduate. Fall and spring internship hours are flexible, allowing students to gain valuable experience while maintaining their regular class schedules. Interns will provide functional support, conduct research, and work directly with project analysts and staff in various capacities.  
*Please note that our Spring internship will be virtual with the option of hybrid work*
