ITS Arizona is sponsoring an internship program to provide on-the-job experience and mentoring to a student aspiring to be a professional in the transportation and technology disciplines.  ITS Arizona will provide up to $5,000 in matching funds to a public agency or private firm for the purposes of subsidizing the direct hourly rate of an intern.  The funds shall not be used for fringe benefits or similar expenses.

For 2021, the program will provide support for one internship position.  Once a sponsoring employer has been selected by ITS Arizona, the board will work closely with the partnering agency to select and place the intern.  Full details of the program are available for download.  Employers interested in participating should submit a completed application to Arnab Gupta at president@itsaz.org by 5pm (AZ time) on Tuesday, May 11, 2021.
