Internship Opportunity
Are you a college student looking for internship opportunities?
The Government of the Virgin Islands (GVI) may have something for you! The GVI supports internship programs that provide growth and learning opportunities at the University level. Departments are encouraged to develop intern projects and student interns are encouraged to apply for projects that will provide them with professional experience in the furtherance of their education and are academically oriented for their benefit. Internships assist students in reaching their educational goals by giving them the opportunity to augment classroom instruction with exposure to a real world employment setting. Interns will spend 10-12 weeks working on a predetermined project that enhances college level skills and abilities closely related to their academic major or career interest.
If this is something you may be interested in, please click the links below for additional information on available internships. Applications are now being accepted through January 2, 2017. Interested students are encouraged to apply.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCMENT
APPLICANT CRITERIA REVISED AND APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED FOR THE VIRGIN ISLANDS CERTIFIED PUBLIC MANAGER® (CPM) PROGRAM’S 2017-2018 COLLEAGUE GROUP
The Virgin Islands Certified Public Manager® (CPM) Program has revised the applicant criteria for its 2017-2018 Colleague Group and, thus, extended the application deadline to Friday, March 24, 2017. To be considered for participation in the VI CPM 2017-2018 Colleague Group, an applicant must currently be employed with a local or federal government agency, non-profit organization, or private sector business in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Preference is given to applicants with supervisory experience.
The Virgin Islands Certified Public Manager® (CPM) program is a nationally accredited, comprehensive management development program. The program’s primary goal is to improve the performance of public sector managers and the organizational performance of state, local and federal governments. The Virgin Islands CPM program is sponsored by the Division of Personnel (DOP) and the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) and delivered by UVI’s Institute for Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness (ILOE).
The Virgin Islands CPM’s rigorous 300-hour program is designed around seven (7) core competency areas which are set by the National Certified Public Manager® Consortium, the accrediting body of all CPM programs. Training in these seven (7) competencies is included in the CPM classes: Personal and Organizational Integrity; Managing Work; Leading People; Developing Self; Systemic Integration; Public Service Focus; and Change Leadership. VI CPM participants also complete an applied project (capstone project). The capstone project is typically a real world problem faced in the CPM participant’s agency that would benefit from a systematic application of the principles taught in the classroom.
VI CPM Program participants complete the program in 14 months as part of a cohort or “colleague group”. This group attends classes collectively, becoming Certified Public Managers together. The 2017-2018 Colleague Group will meet three (3) consecutive days per month, 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. CPM classes are held on St. Thomas and St. Croix at the University of the Virgin Islands.
The online application closes at 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 24, 2017.
