GIS Internship Opportunities
Finding a GIS Internship
If you are
considering doing a GIS internship, please send me an email ([email protected]) with your resume
attached. In the email, please tell me which GIS-related courses you have taken.
You must at least have taken GOG 496/596 at UAlbany
or an equivalent course (that used ArcGIS as a teaching tool) elsewhere. I will
hold your resume and send it out to the agency that best matches your
qualifications. I get internship opportunity notices form our internship
partners all through the year�keep checking your email. Some internships are
paid, others are not. I would advise you to follow your interests rather than
the cash if you can�several of our unpaid internship agencies (especially the
Office of the NYS Attorney General) have led to very good opportunities for our
graduates.
Internships at New York State
Agencies
Starting in
2012, the New New
York Leaders Internship Program (yes, 2 news in a row) was initiated to
organize internship opportunities at New York State Agencies. To qualify for an
internship with a New York state agency, you must now go to their website and
fill out a short application:
http://nysinternships.com/nnyl/
Filling out the
application does not guarantee an internship at an agency. However, agencies
are only allowed to take on interns who have registered on this site. So, if
you are considering an internship of any kind, it is worth your time to sign up
on this list. Even if you have sent me your resume, you cannot be selected for
an internship at a state agency unless you are on the list.
