NC Department of Information Technology Internship Program Fall/Winter 2026

The NC Department of Information Technology offers two (2) internship programs designed for people at all stages looking to enter the technology field. Interns are paid $20 per hour and work 20 to 40 hours a week in both programs, either fully onsite or on a hybrid schedule, depending on the position requirements and location. While providing "real-world" work experience, ensuring interns contribute to the day-to-day operations of the NC Department of Information Technology.

Preference is given to candidates who either reside in North Carolina or are within a three-hour commute of the assigned duty station for the internship.

The Fall/Winter 2026 internship will start on September 28, 2026 and will conclude on March 26, 2027.

The intern will support statewide digital accessibility efforts by reviewing, identifying, and remediating accessibility issues across websites, documents, and other digital content for multiple North Carolina agencies. They will conduct accessibility testing, fix issues related to WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508, convert inaccessible documents into accessible formats (including using an AI‑based PDF conversion tool), and help ensure compliance ahead of the April 2027 ADA Title II deadline. The role also includes coordinating with stakeholders, supporting accessible communications, and gaining hands‑on experience in digital content remediation and web publishing.
