Prospective Interns

GPSI -- "tomorrow's leaders today"

GPSI is a competitive application process. If you are selected by a participating agency, you will have the opportunity for a long term (up to 21-months) placement with outstanding benefits.

At this time, we have officially completed the first and second round interview process for placements for the 2008 fall term. If we have additional agency requests for the fall term, the late hire process will commence around September 1, 2008. To be eligible to be considered for a late agency request -- you must be registered for the 2008 fall term. We will continue to place interns for the fall term until around mid-October.

Online students, who are available to work in Springfield for the duration of the internship placement, are welcome to apply for the GPSI program. At this time, however, we do not have placements for online students located outside of the Springfield area.
