NGA Summer 2021 Internship Information Session

Are you looking for an internship to develop your skills, enhance your career potential, and make a global difference each day? As a member of NGA's elite workforce, you will see first-hand how the work you are doing supports homeland security, disaster relief, and our nation's warfighters. Join this information session to learn more!

For the summer 2021 internship program, NGA is looking for students with graduation dates of August 2021 or after. Unlike many companies, we will take students very early in their college career for internships (as early as the summer after their freshman year) and each subsequent summer if the opportunity is of interest to the student.

NGA is providing internship opportunities to students from a range of majors, including Environmental Studies, History, Global Studies, Linguistics, Anthropology, Political Science, Economics, Geography, GIS, Geophysics, Biochemistry, Math, Statistics, Computer Science, Physics, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or related disciplines. The list above is just an example of majors NGA interns have had in the past. If you do not have any of the majors above, don't fret! There are opportunities at NGA for all majors.
