The National Clandestine Service (NCS) is the covert arm of the CIA. NCS interns support the NCS mission of collecting human intelligence on critical international developments. Interns will work in the Washington, D.C. area with teams of knowledgeable professionals. Student internship positions offer salaries competitive with the private sector and the same benefits as permanent employees. This program is designed for undergraduate students interested in a NCS career via the NCS Professional Trainee Program. Interns are generally freshmen at the time of application and have minimal professional work experience.
