Kennedy Space Center Intern Project
[Higher Education Faculty & Students Grades 9-Higher Education]
[Available: Nationally for Undergraduate/Graduate/Higher Education
Available: Locally (within 50 mile radius) for high school students]
Program Description
The Kennedy Space Center's Intern Project is intended to attract students pursuing degrees that are of specific interest to KSC. The intern work schedule is concurrent with academic terms except for high school students who are only eligible during the summer term. All interns are expected to work a 40-hour work week, Monday through Friday. The objective is to inform students about KSC's mission and to give them valuable work experience related to their academic studies. The project also provides KSC an opportunity to evaluate the student's suitability for participation in the co-op program or full-time employment upon graduation.
