Students interested in being considered for opportunities under the
Department of Commerce Postsecondary Internship Program should directly
contact Alicia Wells at Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) by e-mail
at  <mailto:Alicia.Wells at orau.org> Alicia.Wells at orau.org or visit
<http://www.orau.org/doc> www.orau.org/doc to find out more about
eligibility criteria, program benefits and the application form. Please note
that all programs are open to any students who meet program eligibility
criteria.

. Interns participate in on-site work experiences with DOC bureaus and
offices in order to integrate academic theory and workplace requirements,
gain relevant skills and knowledge, explore Federal career options, develop
professional networks, and gain a greater awareness of the role of Federal
agencies.

. Basic eligibility requires enrollment as an undergraduate or graduate
student at two and four-year accredited educational institutions, as well as
U.S. citizenship.

. Interns receive stipends as well as paid round-trip transportation
expenses between their schools/homes and work locations.  Most internships
are in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area, but some assignments are
available at locations around the United States, where Commerce regional and
local offices are situated (see matrix above). 

. Interns hosted under the Postsecondary Internship Program are not
employees of the Department of Commerce; rather, they are affiliated with
the sponsoring organization with which the Department collaborates to
recruit interns.
