CAP Internship

[Eclipse]

Your Wing's ESO will not likely be inclined to be involved with something like this.  CAP is not the kind of organization
which can provide the level of activity you'll need to make those hours.

As a matter of protocol, you would need at least your unit and group CC to approve something like you're discussing, but
I would agree with your professor, CAP is not the proper place for an internship (at any level below NHQ).

You'd be much better off looking to work with an EMA or similar for this.  In your area that will mean that you'll have to look to the suburbs.
The wing is working with the major metro area you live in, but the reality is that large cities don't really need the kind of help CAP can offer,
and there's going to be a fair amount of competition for any internships that might be offered by OEMC.

Thanks Eclipse! I appreciate your help. Interestingly, I know a few people at OEMC and they don't have internships anymore (at least not as of last fall). Perhaps I'll try again after the summit (if the city still stands). I will look into suburban EMAs, as well, although I did that last semester. The link you posted looks promising, too. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears!

Looks like IEMA's internships have to be applied for in January of the respective year.

Here's info on DuPage County: http://www.dupageco.org/HR/Jobs/35495/

And the ARC appears to have some openings:

Thanks! The DuPage one looks promising, I will try to call them tomorrow. I already did a Red Cross internship as part of my degree, so I can't do another one, unfortunately. I did enjoy it.
