As a Directorate of Operations (DO) Student Intern (DOSI), you will have the opportunity to work in two of three potential DO positions that drive intelligence collection and provide the vital investigative research and strategic oversight to operations that are run around the world. DOSIs are most likely to spend their summer internships serving as either a Staff Operations Officer (SOO), Collection Management Officer (CMO), or Targeting Officer (TO) to be determined based on program availability during each summer. DOSIs will be working alongside DO officers to provide seamless integration between CIA Headquarters and DO offices overseas.

DOSIs will have the opportunity to work on current challenges and are expected to participate in crafting recommendations and solutions.

SOOs apply advanced knowledge and expertise of clandestine operations, operational trade craft, and intelligence priorities while providing strategic guidance and operational case management. SOOs are often asked to find solutions to complex operational problems, identifying new technical tools and capabilities to advance operations, and tapping the resources of the DO, CIA, and U.S. Government to ensure operational requirements are met.
CMOs use area expertise to understand intelligence needs and identify opportunities to collect foreign intelligence to fulfill those needs. CMOs also help evaluate collected intelligence to determine its quality and timeliness while maintaining its secret nature.
TOs are integral to the planning and implementation of DO foreign intelligence collection, counterintelligence, and covert action operations.

After successful completion of internships in each of these positions and depending on hiring needs of the mission at that time, DOSI may be offered the opportunity to convert into being hired into the Professional Trainee (PT) program.
