NCAAT currently offers a summer internship program.
In 2022, there will be 2 summer interns.
All applicants will be required to submit a general application. Those successful in moving to the second round will be invited to interview. After interviews, NCAAT staff will select that cycle’s cohort.
We do keep an internal waitlist of candidates. If an internship spot becomes available, we will contact candidates accordingly.
