Re: Internship Opportunities for FIRSTers

FESTO hires FIRST high school and college interns, generally from the FIRST team (or alumni of the team) they sponsor.

Northrop Grumman has both high school and college internships and co-ops. On Long Island we have several school/business relationships inter-mixed with the FIRST teams we are trying to encourage.

P.S. It has worked both ways in that NGC has also established partnerships/mentorships with several of the local high schools, then leveraged that partnership to convince them to start FIRST teams. Which came FIRST, the chicken or the egg? Of course that obligates NGC to provide volunteer mentors, so we’re fullfilling our part of the bargain by advertising and running new mentor luncheons/workshops.
