Presentation Description
The ATLAS Internship Program is an effort to give all students in the Liberal Arts & Sciences (LAS) College an opportunity to work hands on with technology in an professional setting before they graduate. Computer Science is not one of the 60+ units in the college of LAS and LAS students are often seen as not having as much technical training. However, technology is a big part of almost every organization today. The ATLAS Internship Program works to identify organizations who are willing to work with an ‘entry level’ intern for a semester. The items interns work on are very different, but do have to have a learning component for the student. These students are eager to gain experience outside of the classroom and have proven to be very helpful in the organizations they have worked with. We have a number of clients who have been working with our program for nearly 10 years now! In our presentation we will talk more about what types of things our interns can do to help your organizations. We will have some sample projects and some testimonials from some clients. We will also talk about the things that we ask from organizations hosting ATLAS Interns.
Please come with your questions and a list of those projects you’d love to work on but just never seem to make it to the top of your to-do list. We can talk about how ATLAS Interns may be able to help you tackle some of those projects.
