Our program is a dynamic opportunity that goes beyond the classroom to provide college students with hands-on experience and valuable credits. Here are some notable highlights of our internship program:

Unlock Potential, Earn Course Credits

The DCS Internship Program is strategically designed to offer a blend of challenge and reward, enriching the educational journey while contributing to the agency's goals. It's a win-win for everyone involved.

Statewide Presence

Spanning Georgia's 51 judicial circuits, our agency proudly extends internship opportunities throughout the state. This immersive experience lets students collaborate with skilled mentors while exploring diverse units within our department. We also provide specialized internship opportunities in areas such as Finance, External Affairs, Information Technology, and more.

Guided Growth

Under the guidance of a Community Supervision Officer, interns undertake a range of responsibilities that facilitate their understanding of Georgia’s probation and parole process. These day-to-day activities contribute to the heart of the DCS mission, providing invaluable assistance.

A Record of Success

We are proud to share that 63 former interns have transitioned into full-time roles at DCS. Since 2018, we have hosted over 312 internships across the agency. Our internship opportunities are highly competitive and require applicants to meet qualifications and specific GPA requirements
