Click Herefor undergraduate advisors for help with co-ops and internships.Georgia Tech internships provide opportunities for students to gain experience in their field, determine if they have an interest in a particular career, and create a network of contacts. An internship may be either paid, unpaid or partially paid (in the form of a stipend).The Georgia Institute of Technology Internship Program is an academic program designed to complement a student s formal education with practical work experience. The internships are single-semester, major related full-time or part-time work experiences that help students better understand the real world applications of their academic studies.Involvement in the GT Internship program requires a commitment of full-time or part-time employment for a minimum of 14 weeks for the fall or spring semesters, or a minimum of 8 weeks for the summer term. Interns typically work for one semester, with the flexibility of participating in multiple internships, and in some cases, have the option working for two consecutive terms (e.g. spring and summer or summer and fall). Full time work assignments are for a minimum of thirty five hours per week, and part time assignments require at least twenty hours of work per week.Look Below for some additional information about Internships:   Taking a Course While WorkingIf you choose to take a Georgia Tech course while working a full time internshipgain the approval of both your GT Career Development Advisor and supervisorbeforeregistering.

Parents as well as potential and current students found that hearing from students who have worked in industry to be very informative. Students who participate in the program have been nominated by their program advisor and are only required to attend a training session which is held every semester and be in good standing with the institute and their employer. Students participate in events that conveniently work with their schedule. Ambassadors have helped with FASET, Connect with Tech, Family Weekend, RATS Week, Orientation Sessions and any other event that the Career Center is involved in. For additional information about the Ambassador Program please contact Dennis Lindsay at dennis.lindsay@gatech.edu.
