experience in new areas of interest. The program can have as many
as three interns chosen per year.

knowledge and skills

The
Experience
|
|
Prior to the start of the internship period, each intern researches
and identifies a placement. Then the intern negotiates a plan with
the manager with whom she or he is placed. The plan states the intern's
specific goals as well as ITC's expectations. Managers will assign
mentors for the interns. Mentors come from the ranks of the Division/group
that the intern will be working.
Interns
have office space in their primary mentor's areas and work as colleagues
of the permanent staff. Interns observe a range of activities and
participate in joint projects with other ITC staff. As their terms
progress, interns assume increasing responsibility for assignments.
They may attend appropriate workshops and academic courses to foster
their professional development. Internships can be of any length
less than one year. It is recommended that internships be six-months
in length.

The
Results

purpose of the program is to assist participants with their professional
development. While this program is intended to increase the pool of
qualified applicants within ITC, promotional opportunities cannot
be guaranteed. |

Qualifications
for Application

|
First
consideration is given to full-time ITC classified staff, who have
been an ITC employee for at least two years. Candidates who do not
fit these criteria may also apply, but will be considered only if
space and funds are available.
Applicants
are judged on their accomplishments and their potential for success.
A review panel screens applications and makes recommendations to
the ITC Directors Group. The Directors group will make the final
decisions.

Salary
and Benefits

| Interns
receive the same monthly base salary and benefits as they would have
received in their previous position during the program. The Base salary
does not include shift differential, overtime, or any other payment
in addition to base pay. Additionally, interns will be eligible for
same salary increases as their pervious position. ITC may provide
funds to each interns' home unit to pay the personal-services costs
of replacing her or him during the internship period. Interns must
return to their previous position or other ITC position after the
end of the program. |

above, and describe their aspirations for the internship. If a pair
of applicants would like to switch positions as part of the internship,
please note that in the application.
