 Internship Program AreasPostgraduate Professional Development ProgramMany students learn about The Washington Center too late to participate as an undergraduate. We therefore offer a special program for recent graduates (with 18 months of receiving a college degree) and graduate students from all majors and backgrounds. The Postgraduate Professional Development Program (PPDP) is an investment in the future. It helps postgraduate interns test career direction and acquire the skills and experience needed to pursue it. It puts them in a position to network and discover opportunities for employment. Even if a job is not secured immediately, doors are often opened. PPDP interns do not earn academic credit through The Washington Center. Graduate students may arrange credit independently for their work in the program.

| Professional Experience The PPDP program matches participants with substantive four-and-one-half day per week internships |
Career Planning Emphasis placed upon job search techniques, resume and cover letter writing, interview skills, graduate school application process, public speaking and more |
Networking Providing participants the means to develop a better understanding of professional relationships; developing skills and contacts within Washington, D.C. |
Interns take part in the Leadership Forum with students participating in other programs. They complete written assignments that enhance the internship experience.
