Building a qualified workforce

Internships provide a valuable way for students to make connections with businesses and identify career options in North Dakota. Governor John Hoeven and the ND Legislature have recognized the importance of expanding internship and work experience opportunities, working with the Department of Commerce to facilitate the Operation Intern program.

The program is designed to expand the number of new internship, work experience and apprenticeship positions with employers. Employers in the state's targeted industries can access up to $6,000 of matching funds for each new position created, or up to $5,000 for a federal internship position supporting North Dakota's targeted industries. North Dakota’s targeted industries are advanced manufacturing, energy, information technology, tourism, and value-added agriculture.
