50 years ago

50 years ago National Council of Industrial Meteorologists Summer Intern Program The National Council of Industrial Meteorologists (NCIM) was organized in 1968 to further the professional practice of industrial meteorology. Individual members of NCIM provide services including forecasting for clients such as highway departments and power companies with specialized needs in areas including engineering and construction, shipping, oil production, agricultural, media information, and motion picture/television production. Additionally, service in forensic meteorology is provided to the legal profession. Requirements for membership in NCIM are similar to those of the AMS's Certified Consulting Meteorologist program. Program Description Summer internships are for $1800 per summer season of employment with a firm having an NCIM member. The intent of this program is to provide work experience for up to four students nationwide to help defray their expenses for working at an NCIM member's business. The program is not intended to replace regular wages paid by the business for summertime employment. Who Is Eligible? Summer internships are available to full-time students entering not less than their junior years in 1994/95. Two categories of students are eligible: 1) Students who are enrolled or who are planning to enroll in a course of study leading to a degree in the atmospheric or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences. 2) Students who are enrolled in a program leading to a degree in science or engineering who have demonstrated a clear intent to pursue a career in the atmospheric or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences following completion of appropriate specialized education at the graduate level. Applicants must have successfully completed not less than two years of study at an accredited institution. Candidates must be United States citizens or hold permanent resident status.
