2024 Advanced Placement (AP) Reading Internship

ETS is offering an exceptional opportunity through an internship in our Scoring & Reporting Operations (S&R Ops) organization. This internship can help you jump-start your career and gain an edge over the competition even before you graduate. By joining ETS, you will have the opportunity to work in an exciting and dynamic environment where your contributions are recognized from day one.

An intern will be assigned to multiple subjects at one or more Reading sites within the US to assist S&R Ops personnel with operational support tasks required for the online Readings. Training will be provided in May to prepare for the 3-4-week assignment at one or more of the AP Reading sites. There may be opportunities for internship extensions into July after the Reading concludes, depending on the post-reading workload.
