Internships Opportunities
The aviation industry offers first-hand experience in the operation of major airlines and aviation-related companies and organizations. This includes involvement in the day-to-day tasks, as well as practical exploration of the structure and major processes of the organization.
Nearly all of the internships are unpaid; however, many of them offer flight benefits, access to flight simulators and enhanced employment opportunities in the future, not to mention invaluable industry experience.
For more information about internships, please contact Dr. William McCurry at (480) 727-1998 or Dr. Mary Niemczyk at (480) 727-1595.
Requirements
Interns are expected to register for ASU course credit and complete the syllabus requirements associated with the internship course. This includes completing a mid-semester and end-of-semester experience report.
Selection of Candidates
The Department of Aeronautical Management Technology has a committee that screens applicants for internship positions. Some participating companies also interview and screen applicants. AMT will publicize additional information about flying and management internships as they become available.
