Intern policy activities vary depending on government activities and intern background, and in the past has included briefings and meetings with Congressional offices, the FCC, the State Department, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Defense, space companies, academic institutions, and more.

SIA internships are offered in the fall semester (September-December), spring semester (January-April) and during the summer (May-August). SIA internships are unpaid, however an intern’s university may offer the option of receiving course credit or university-sponsored stipend for an SIA internship. Internships are open to recent graduates from undergraduate programs, current graduate students, and those who recently have completed their graduate programs.

SIA’s spring and fall internships are policy and events-focused (SIA DoD Satcom Workshop, SATELLITE 2027), so applications are also open to nonprofit management and business students.

Internships are full-time, hybrid in Washington, DC. SIA typically takes on only one intern per season.

Interest in the space or satellite industry is highly recommended for the policy and legal internships.
