The Met Council’s Internship Program offers professional development opportunities for students in a variety of post-secondary fields of study. Our internships are designed to provide students meaningful work and be an introduction to public service and a chance to discover the Met Council. Whether they are out on a construction site, in the lab, or in the office, their work at the Met Council matters.
Internships last a minimum of 12 weeks in the summer, with many lasting a year or longer.
Participants receive an hourly rate of $24.47 or $24.67 (2025 rates), depending on position.
2026 program dates
Summer internships start in May or June, with some positions beginning early.
Most internships end in August, with many extending part-time into the school year.
Applications
Internship openings will be posted on our jobs website monthly, with a new grouping of positions published in October, November, December, and January.
Applications are open through Jan. 31 for the current wave of 2026 internships.
