MATE Internship Program- Providing At-Sea Opportunities for College Students

One of the primary goals of the MATE Center is to develop educational resources and opportunities for students interested in marine science and technology. The MATE Center's regional and national employer surveys have made it clear that relevant work experience is one of the most important considerations in hiring new employees. To help prepare students to be competitive and prepared for employment upon graduation, the MATE Center has developed the At-Sea Technical Internship Program. Interns work as marine technicians aboard sea-going research vessels that are part of the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) and the United States Coast Guard.

MATE Student Survey
If you have not already done so, please take a moment to complete the MATE Student Information Survey. The information that we are collecting from students is valuable to us in our curriculum planning process. Your feedback will help to ensure that our educational resources will meet the needs of students interested in careers in the fields of marine technology and environmental science. We appreciate your time, and in return, we will do our best to keep you updated on opportunities in the marine and environmental fields.
