New Mexico State Government Internships are temporary training positions that are offered as a way for students to gain work experience before entering the full-time workforce. Internships can be structured in a number of different ways to meet agency needs and can range from just a few hours a week during the school year to a temporary full-time position during school vacations or summer break. Depending on Agency priorities and the nature of the work, interns can be high school/GED, college, graduate school, and law school students as well as recent graduates at any of these levels.
