LOCATION OF POSITION

Annapolis, Maryland

Main Purpose of Job

The Comptroller of Maryland is the state’s tax administration and fiscal oversight agency. We’re responsible for assisting both citizens and those beyond the state’s borders with the filing, processing, payment, and audit of a wide range of tax types. Our agency touches the lives of every citizen in the state—if not by processing credits and refunds families depend on in their financial planning, then by collecting and distributing the funds which pay for everything from roads to schools.

Our Office of Equity and Transformation team is seeking highly motivated interns to fill one of the three (3) available positions available with the team. Please see the three positions below and continue reading to learn about each:

TRAINING - The training intern will participate in the development of a strategic training program for the upcoming year as well as assist in the development and facilitation of specific trainings. This position will have the opportunity to interact with employees at all levels of the organization and across many different types of work. The primary duties and responsibilities of the intern will be:
  • Assisting in the design and development of training materials
