The ISTAT Internship Portal is now open, and we would like to invite all ISTAT member companies to post their summer or graduate internship positions once they're open to ensure interest from the best candidates.
The Foundation’s Internship Program acts as an intermediary between ISTAT member companies and students seeking aviation internships. Through the use of our web portal, qualified students and employers are able to match the right skills, background and interests with corporate internships. Placed interns who qualify will receive a stipend from the Foundation to cover housing and travel expenses of up to $2,500. Questions? Contact istatinternships@istat.org.
