Summer Internship Program
This program enables NGP students to take a structured break from academic/research commitments to engage in the internship of their choosing in the private or public sector. Students independently identify and secure internships that align with their professional and academic goals. During the internship, students apply their training to projects in an industry setting.
The purpose of this program is to facilitate flexible scheduling to ensure students can maintain their priorities in the lab while engaging in professional development. During the internship, students are compensated directly by the hosting organizing at an agreed rate.
