For the second consecutive year, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been named a recipient of the PA Chamber Foundation’s Greatest Places to Intern in Pennsylvania awards.

The awards recognize Pennsylvania employers for providing educational experiences to prepare students for success in their future careers.

According to state data, Pennsylvania hires an average of 600 high school and college students of all ages each year, across more than 30 state agencies.

Throughout 2026, the state has welcomed 962 interns with more starting in the fall — the largest ever cohort of interns.

This includes 28 Pennsylvania college students with disabilities participating in the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation Summer Internship Program.
