Nassau County Comptroller’s Office Offers

Summer Internships for College Students

A limited number of paid summer internship opportunities are available for college students in the office of Nassau County Comptroller Howard S. Weitzman. 

“Students interested in pursuing careers in government, accounting, finance, and law will gain valuable experience and insights working for the Nassau County Comptroller’s Office,” Mr. Weitzman said.  “In past summers, our interns have worked in many different areas of county finance and governance, and have made a real difference. For instance, last summer several of our interns were involved in the distribution of the NassauRx prescription discount card, which is now helping thousands of residents save money on prescription drugs.  At the same time, the interns have a chance to gain valuable experience in local government.”

As Nassau’s fiscal watchdog, the Comptroller is responsible for monitoring the county’s budget and financial operations, reviewing claims and contracts, and auditing county agencies and contractors.  The Comptroller also administers payroll and health benefits for the county.

Those interested in being considered should send a resume and a brief cover letter explaining what they hope to gain from the experience to: Internships, Nassau County Comptroller’s Office, 240 Old Country Road, Mineola, N.Y. 11501.  Letters may be emailed to: NCComptroller@nassaucountyny.gov.  Only Nassau County residents will be considered.  The deadline for applications is January 30, 2009.
