Part Time Internships information

What are part time internships?

Part time internships are temporary work opportunities where students or individuals work for a company or organization for fewer hours per week than a full-time position, typically ranging from 10 to 30 hours. These internships are designed to provide practical experience and skill development while allowing interns to balance other commitments such as classes or another job. Part time internships can be paid or unpaid, and are often available in a variety of fields including business, technology, marketing, and more. They are a great way for individuals to gain industry exposure, build networks, and enhance their resumes.

What is the difference between Part Time Internships vs Part Time Entry-Level Positions?

AspectPart Time InternshipsPart Time Entry-Level Positions
CredentialsUsually students or recent graduates; minimal certifications neededMay require some relevant skills or certifications, but less experience expected
Work EnvironmentLearning-focused, mentorship opportunities, often in office or remoteOperational, task-oriented, similar to full-time roles but part-time
Employer UsageInternship programs, educational institutions, companies seeking trainingCompanies hiring for entry-level roles with flexible hours
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding training opportunities, gaining experienceSeeking part-time work with minimal experience required

Part Time Internships are primarily designed for students or recent graduates seeking training and experience, often with mentorship. In contrast, Part Time Entry-Level Positions are operational roles requiring minimal prior experience, suitable for those entering the workforce. Both serve different purposes but are valuable for gaining work experience in a flexible, part-time format.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a part-time internship?

To thrive in a part-time internship, you need a willingness to learn, basic knowledge relevant to the industry, and often current enrollment in an educational program. Familiarity with productivity tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace and basic understanding of workplace-specific software are typically required. Initiative, time management, and effective communication make interns stand out by helping them adapt quickly and contribute meaningfully. These skills and qualities are important because they enable interns to maximize learning, handle multiple tasks, and add value to the organization within limited hours.

How can a part-time internship help me build valuable professional connections while balancing academic commitments?

Part-time internships offer an excellent opportunity to expand your professional network while still focusing on your studies. Since the hours are flexible, you can participate in team meetings, collaborate on projects, and connect with mentors without overwhelming your academic schedule. Many organizations encourage interns to attend networking events or join cross-departmental teams, which helps you build relationships that can support your future career. By staying proactive and communicating with colleagues, you can maximize both your learning and networking opportunities during your internship.

Job description

Internship Opportunities
The Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) is a Washington, DC-based nonpartisan 501(c)(3) research institute focusing on national security and foreign policy. FDD conducts in-depth research, produces accurate and timely analyses, identifies illicit activities, and provides policy options – all with the aim of strengthening U.S. national security and reducing or eliminating threats posed by adversaries and enemies of the United States and other free nations. FDD does not accept donations from any foreign governments.

About FDD's Internship Program


The Foundation for Defense of Democracies offers a variety of internship opportunities designed to provide meaningful professional development. Interns participate in a twice-monthly speaker series featuring senior staff members in a small-group setting and are encouraged to strengthen their academic and analytical skills through close collaboration with FDD scholars and experts. The organization offers stipends and can assist students seeking academic credit; however, stipend eligibility requirements must be met. FDD provides both hybrid and remote internship options.


Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. It is recommended that interested candidates submit applications early. Incomplete applications will not be considered.

Digital & Social Media Internship

The Digital Team is seeking a full-time or part-time intern to support social media content creation and digital communications. The ideal candidate is creative, detail-oriented, and excited about helping translate policy research into compelling online content.

Responsibilities include drafting social media captions, clipping and editing short-form videos (Reels/Shorts), helping build and publish carousels and graphics, and supporting day-to-day management of FDD's social media channels. Experience with Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and YouTube content formats is strongly preferred. Basic skills in tools like Canva, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Premiere are preferred. An interest in international affairs and national security is also a plus.

Eligibility

  • Must have at least a 3.2 GPA (on a 4.0 scale).
  • Should have a relevant course of study and have completed coursework in any of the following fields: Digital Design, Marketing, Branding, International Relations, Security Studies, History, Communications, Journalism, International Economics, Political Science, Computer Science, and/or a relevant STEM field of study.
  • Interns should have knowledge of Microsoft Office programs.
  • Must be able to commit to a minimum of 22 hours per week, remote or in-office.
  • Must be eligible to work in the United States.

Application Materials Required

  • Resume/CV
  • Cover letter (Please review our website and include which FDD projects and issue areas resonate with you and why. Also indicate where you found this internship and your availability for the semester.)
  • Examples of your previous work in graphic design or social media
  • Unofficial transcript copy

Please specify the department(s) for which you would like to be considered (feel free to indicate preferences) in your cover letter. While you may use the same cover letter for multiple positions, please submit a separate application for each position of interest.
Incomplete applications will not be considered.
