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.
See "I want to be an Intern" page to learn more.
Do you want to understand the nitty gritty details of what it is like to be a marine technician? Check out the Knowledge and Skill Guidelines for Oceanographic Instrumentation Technicians.

We look forward to receiving your application and hope that the MATE Center will be able to help you achieve your academic and career goals!
