About our Summer Internship Program

The Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) Summer Internship program allows students to apply their economics, finance, or accounting studies to real-world problems.

Internships are offered on a full-time, fixed-term basis across DTF in various divisions, as well as at the Essential Services Commission (ESC).

The internship program is open to applicants for two streams, an Economics and Public Policy Stream and an Accounting and Finance Stream.

As an intern at DTF or ESC, you will be placed in the Economic Division, Budget and Finance Division, Commercial Division, or ESC for 12 weeks between December and February (start and end dates can be negotiated). In this role, you will report to a Senior Economist/Senior Analyst and work on a range of tasks.
