Esri's Summer Internship Program

Applications are now being accepted for Esri's Summer Internship Program and the Esri UC Student Assistantship Program.  Details are available at http://www.esri.com/careers/category/summer-programs.html .  Both programs provide great work experience as well as opportunities to network with professional GIS users and explore career options.

Internships are paid positions at Esri headquarters in Redlands, CA and a few of the Esri Regional Offices.  Internships are open to both undergraduate and graduate students.  Positions are available in a variety of areas, including Product Development, Professional Services, Educational Services/Training, Marketing, and Technical Support.  Positions are generally 12 weeks long, starting between May and July, depending on the student's schedule and hiring team's needs.   Deadline to apply is March 18, 2011.

The UC Assistantship Program provides students an opportunity to participate in the International User Conference in San Diego, July 11-15, 2011.  Students work part of the time, and have time to attend sessions and network with conference attendees.  Esri provides conference registration and lodging (students pay for their own travel to San Diego).  This program is open to graduate students and 4th year undergraduate students attending a college/university in the U.S.  Deadline to apply is April 1, 2011.


Thank you for forwarding this to students and post secondary faculty.
