Interns will conduct interviews of individuals who present us with allegations of employment discrimination and will also analyze case files for compliance with federal employment discrimination laws. Interns will conduct interviews of employers and of individuals who have filed employment discrimination complaints. Law school students may also be assigned projects from the supervisory trial attorney.

More hours are available, if desired. EEOC internships are unpaid; however, interns may receive academic credit. The EEOC is an equal opportunity employer.
