Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities National Internship Program

A Means Toward Achieving a Representative Bureaucracy

Texas A&M University–College Station

The U.S. government has long struggled with achieving a federal workforce that reflects the nation's diversity. This study evaluates the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities National Internship Program, which recruits Latino students for semester-long internship assignments with federal agencies. Having undergone the internship program, students are more likely to consider the federal government as a future employer than they were previously. Such internships offer the potential of improving Latino representation in the federal bureaucracy.

Key Words: internships • representative bureaucracy
