Kennedy Space Center
The Kennedy Space Center has started a new summer internship program. This new
program offers several opportunities. The Kennedy Space Center's (KSC) Intern Program is
intended to attract students who are pursuing an engineering or business/public
administration degree to work during the summer months as well as other academic
terms. The objective is to provide students valuable work experience related to their
academic studies and knowledge of KSC's mission. The Program also provides KSC an
opportunity to evaluate the student's suitability for participation in the Co-op Program or full-
time employment upon graduation.
The deadline for submission is April 13, 2007.
