Representatives from NASA AMES met with students at De Anza College to discuss internships. "I think it's a valuable experience for students to have an early exposure toward their intended career," said former intern Wellman Law.

The program helped Law understand the difference between college work and office work. "Skills that you developed from this experience can help to change your perspective toward what you would like to do in the future," said Law.

The program provides students with experience at NASA AMES' research centers or Silicon Valley companies.

Prospective interns are required to send an application and a resume detailing their interests and major. The staff will then match them with a suitable job. Applications are due on Tuesday, Feb. 13. Selected candidates will be invited for interviews with prospective internship supervisors. Work will begin on April 9.

Applicants are required to be able to commit to a six-or 12-month contract and work 20 hours per week during the school year and 40 hours per week during the summer. No evening or weekend work is available.
