The MATE Center's regional and national employer surveys have made it clear that relevant work experience is one of the most important considerations in hiring new employees. To help prepare our students to be competitive and effective upon graduation, the MATE Center is working closely with employers in the marine fields to develop technically oriented internships that are closely tied to the academic and professional background of our students. MATE plans to expand its regional program in the near future. Please complete an Internship Placement and Evaluation Forms or refer to MATE's Information for Employers .
