INTERNSHIP

What you’ll do

SPPANZ is looking for 3-5 tertiary students from across Aotearoa New Zealand to work together on a policy research project over summer. Each intern takes responsibility for their own research area, with the opportunity to contribute to a published SPPANZ report.

No previous policy experience is needed. We want to hear from students keen to learn, build their research skills and explore the policy issues that matter to them.
