Congressional Budget Office

12-10 VOLUNTEER INTERN
GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR THE WEB
Office of Communications
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) is a small nonpartisan agency that provides economic and budgetary analysis to the Congress. The Web Unit in the Office of Communications seeks an intern with a strong work ethic to perform various tasks in support of CBO’s Web site for a 10-week period during the summer. The successful candidate will report to the Managing Web Editor as part of a 3-person web shop and work with web staff to produce charts and other visual displays of statistical information for the website. The intern will also work with analysts to develop the agency’s infographics and other bespoke visualizations.
You’ll also get a chance to attend a bunch of cool events on Capitol Hill with other interns. You probably won’t see Jonathan Ive wandering the halls, but you can attend lectures by people like former Secretary of State Colin Powell, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and journalist Cokie Roberts.
Qualifications
Candidates should have completed a minimum of 2 years of college (or equivalent credits) with formal training in graphic arts / graphic design and expertise with Adobe Creative Suites software. An interest in the visual display of statistical information is highly desirable. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are a must. The position also requires a person who can work independently and as a part of a team.
This internship can only be offered to students whose universities sponsor internships with federal agencies. There is no requirement for your university to pay or offer class credit for the internship but they must be willing to complete a form provided by CBO that indicates that they are sponsoring you for an unpaid internship at CBO which will be of educational benefit. Students must verify that their university is willing to sponsor your internship before applying but the statement won’t be required unless you are offered an internship.

Please submit a cover letter, résumé, unofficial transcripts, and contact information for three (3) references online at https://careers.cbo.gov/ext/search.asp.
