Join us in our journey of measuring progress to power human progress worldwide.

ETS's S&R Ops organization is seeking talented, innovative, and energetic undergraduate student interns to help us deliver the AP Reading. By joining ETS, you will have the opportunity to work in an exciting and dynamic environment where your contributions are recognized from day one.

Starting in late May and extending into June, AP Readers (high school teachers and college professors) will score written student responses for Advanced Placement (AP) tests, either at one of our Reading sites or from their homes, using the ETS Online Network for Evaluation (ONE).

The AP Reading internship will begin on Monday, May 11, 2026, in Princeton, New Jersey, for initial onboarding, verification of system access, HR orientation, and travel booking. That week, interns might not work every day, might have shortened schedules, and will not work during the weekend.

Full training continues the following Monday, May 18, through Friday, May 22. Again, during training, schedules may be shortened, depending on workload. After training, AP Interns will travel to their assigned Reading sites, starting as early as May 26. More information about work locations will be provided at a later date.

During the Reading, Interns will assist S&R Ops staff with operational tasks and will work seven days per week, including holidays and weekends. Workdays will be long (will extend beyond eight hours) and require significant walking, with some standing and lifting. After the Reading, Interns will return home to work remotely to help complete post-Reading tasks and participate in the AP Reading After Action Review. The internship officially ends Friday, July 10, 2026, though there may be opportunities for select interns to extend through mid- to late July.
