GPSI HAS MOVED: We are now located in BRK 475

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 have completed the internship opportunities available through first and second round interviews. We are, however, still accepting applicants for the late hire process that will commence on September 1. In order to be considered for the late hire process, an applicant has to have a complete GPSI file by August 1, 2009 and be enrolled for the 2009 fall term.

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.
