Internship Program Overview
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 our students to
be competitive and effective upon graduation, the MATE Center is working
closely with employers in the marine fields to develop technically oriented
internships that are closely tied to the academic and professional background
of our students. The MATE Center has developed the UNOLS Internship Program
(national) and a Regional Internship Program in Central California. MATE
plans to expand its regional program in the near future.
If you are an employer interested in hosting an intern, MATE students have
a wide variety of skills and backgrounds including computer programming,
GIS, GPS, electronics, welding, carpentry, chemistry, water quality analysis,
HAZMAT training, diving certification, HTML and web programming, biological
and geological survey techniques, and statistics. Please complete an Internship
Placement and Evaluation Forms or refer to MATE's
Information for Employers. Or contact the MATE
Internship Coordinator at (831) 646-4011.
Eligibility
All applicants must be over 18 years of age; U.S. citizen; appropriate
visa status for foreigners; currently enrolled student in good academic
standing. Preference will be given to students enrolled at MATE Partner

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.

be able to help you achieve your academic and career goals!
