A 3246 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey State Government and Civil Service Student Internship Program; appropriates $750,000.

This bill establishes a New Jersey State Government and Civil Service Student Internship Program within the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, appropriating $750,000 for stipends. It allows full-time or part-time undergraduate and graduate students (excluding JD/PhD programs) from accredited colleges to intern with state agencies, requiring 480 hours total (with weekly limits of 20-40 hours depending on school terms). Successful interns gain preference for entry-level civil service positions within two years of graduation if the role matches their internship work, with disabled veterans receiving highest priority. Participants receive a $2,500 stipend for every 240 hours completed, paid biweekly, and the program includes an advisory committee to manage eligibility and opportunities.
