Build your skills through a paid internship
SAO's paid internships give you a chance to learn by working alongside a mentor and other auditing professionals, while providing work and support for actual audit clients. As interns grow their skills, they take on assignments with increased complexity and responsibility.
Our internship program has proven to be a unique pathway for obtaining government auditing experience as well as learning what it’s like to work here. Over the past five years, in fact, more than 70 former interns have assumed full-time positions with SAO.
Check out our Washington state careers site (also shown above) to see if we have any current internship opportunities. Please email us at applicationsunit@sao.wa.gov with any questions.

Our audit staff visit job fairs at local colleges and universities across the state. If you have the chance to stop by one of these events, you can talk one-on-one with them and find out what it’s like to work here, about the benefits, and much more.
