We examine the demand for the program and find an oversupply of graduates in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and a relative undersupply of graduates in marketing and business. Conditional on the types of graduates firms were looking to hire, applicants were then randomly chosen for the program. Receiving an internship resulted in an almost doubling of work experience in 2014 and a 73 % increase in income. A follow-up survey shows that internship recipients had better employment outcomes than the control group in the first 5 months after the program.CC BY 4.0INTERNSHIPACTIVE LABOR MARKET PROGRAMRANDOMIZED EXPERIMENTFRAGILE STATESYOUTH EMPLOYMENTSTEMSCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICSBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTTRAININGON-THE-JOB TRAININGSKILLS MISMATCHLABOR MARKETJournal ArticleWorld Bank10.1596/31376
