Accelerate Your Career This Summer at Virginia DMV! 

Why This Internship Rocks 

Forget making coffee runs. At the Virginia DMV, you'll work on real projects that actually matter—the kind that go on your resume and come up in job interviews. We're looking for ambitious students (undergrad and grad) ready to gain hands-on experience that launches careers, not just fills a summer. 

What Makes DMV Different? 

Sure, we do licenses and registrations—but we also monitor Virginia's trucking industry, run the Highway Safety Office, and enforce transportation tax laws that keep 8.4 million vehicles moving safely. You'll see how a major state agency operates from the inside.

The Law Enforcement Division is rolling out PowerDMS add-ons—think automated forms, training tracking, internal investigations management, and background check systems. Your job? Coordinate the entire implementation from vendor onboarding to staff rollout.

  • Successfully onboard new software modules with vendors 

  • Create user guides that actual humans can understand 

  • Lead a phased rollout to Division staff
