The purpose of the VR Internship Program is to offer paid internships to students who are pursuing a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling. Students who are accepted into the program will work in one of Georgia’s VR offices. There are 13 regional offices and more than 50 local offices throughout the state, so opportunities exist to work in rural, urban, or suburban settings.

To apply for a VR internship, you must submit the following:

• State of Georgia Employment Application, and
  
• Letter of Interest, noting any rehabilitation or rehabilitation-related experience(s); specifying a career goal after graduation; and indicating location preferences by region, city, or county.
