by Katy Kaady
by Katy Kaady
On March 5, Native students, graduates and those seeking jobs and career informa
tion journeyed from as far away as Eugene to Portland State University for the PSU and
Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians first Native Internship, Career and Job Fair.
Résumés were given to employers who in turn gave counsel and applications for
summer internships and scholarship opportunities, as did PSU’s School of Business
and its Career Center; and the OHSU multi-cultural program shared information with
students. Representatives from Nike, Safeway, Intel, N1CWA, NAYA and the State of
Oregon also were present.
A few of this summer’s available internships include many federal programs, such
as the Bonneville Power Administration, U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Department
of the Interior. For more information about paid internships and summer hire programs
as well as jobs, go to www.usajobs.gov.
Many companies also offer summer hire programs for students, such as PGE. To
obtain more information about PGE's Annual Student Summer Hire Program, visit

before you begin applying for an internship program. That way, you will know the basics
and be able to talk about the field in an interview situation. Each position has different
requirements, though, so be sure to carefully read what the employer is looking for.
How do I find out about internship opportunities?
Contact your school s career and/or program major center. Join professional groups
at school. Begin searching internship opportunities on the Web - Google “internship.”

In many cases, applications are taken online for internship opportunities and can
include certain GPA requirements. Your GPA will be weighed in the decision process.
The better your GPA, the better your chances.
