The GTTC2021 Summer Internship Program
The paid internship for students to work at local companies and organizations is the capstone event of GTTC. We would like to share that the implementation of the internship program has reflected the true spirit of collaboration among the GTTC consortium members and industry partners. Each member plays a critical role in placing interns by unreservedly sharing its strength and working with other members as a team.
From late June 2021, seventeen qualified GTTC students have been recruited by six companies and organizations in Southeastern Michigan and started their hands-on Geotech internship projects.
