New internship positions can be added depending on demand. Our 90–180 day On-The-Job Training (OJT) program (duration varies by branch and rank) provides hands-on, real-world training led by experienced industry professionals. Participants receive structured instruction, coaching, and mentorship while applying skills directly in the workplace to build practical expertise and prepare for civilian career success. Interns are exposed to the same employee training and career development that full-time staff members receive as they work under close supervision of university staff.
