About the role

Whiteboard Advisors offers a paid internship for part-time fellows (up to 29 hours per week) from January to May 2027. This opportunity targets early-career officials seeking exposure to education and workforce research, advocacy, and communications. Fellows assist with policy research and writing, monitor media coverage, and support event planning and execution while working closely with senior team members on substantive projects.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
