The Criminal Justice Intern will assist DOB staff in completing policy and program analysis related to the correctional system, including analyzing emerging issues, program metrics, and potential budget recommendations.

  • Analyzing State agency operations.
  • Developing budgetary and policy recommendations.
  • Monitoring and managing program and project performance.
  • Evaluating proposed legislation.
  • Projecting and reviewing revenues and expenditures.


Qualifications

  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with diverse stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical, written, visual, and verbal communication skills.
  • Willingness to learn and gain valuable experience in public policy.


The ideal candidate will have analytic ability and a willingness to learn. Key skills for this role include objectivity, flexibility, and adaptability.

Start and end dates for internships are flexible, but these internships are generally expected to continue through the summer and potentially into the school year, with the possibility of remote work options. All positions are located in Albany, NY.
