UCAR | CPAESS and NOAA Ocean Exploration are excited to announce that the
application for the 2023 Explorer-in-Training Program
<https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/training.html> is now open!

This year, the Explorer-in-Training Program will feature two paid
internship options: (a) 2 to 4-week expedition-based opportunities
supporting seafloor mapping operations on the Okeanos Explorer and (b)
10-week summertime opportunities. The 10-week internships give participants
an experiential learning opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge
through long-term projects supported by NOAA Ocean Exploration mentors. The
expedition-based internships provide support for specific NOAA Ocean
Exploration expeditions, giving participants the chance to contribute to
mission efforts while gaining tangible skills that benefit their future
pursuits. Applicants may apply for both internship options via a single
application form. Please see below for eligibility requirements and
application instructions:
