Since 2009, NOAA Ocean Exploration and CPAESS/UCAR have hosted over 180 Explorers-in-Training. The program equips participants with skills to meet the current and future demands of the ocean exploration workforce, providing meaningful experiential learning opportunities that support NOAA Ocean Exploration’s mission and inspire ocean literacy for the next generation.

The NOAA Explorer-In-Training has 2 types of internships - both on the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer and on land. Interns gain valuable, interdisciplinary experience in ocean exploration while collaborating on office projects and expeditions.

Applications due January 31, 2023
