10. 2022 College Students Summer Internship Program Students attending college can apply for the Tribe’s 2022 College Students Summer Internship Program. To be eligible, you must be at least a half-time student attending a two-year or four-year college and in good academic standing. Applications will be mailed to known students but if you do not receive an appli- cation, contact Assistant General Manager Lisa Norton or the education specialist at any Tribal area office to request an application. The purpose of the program is to provide funding for a paid internship for Tribal students to gain work experience in their field of study that will help them be competi- tive in the job market after graduation. Ten slots are available, paid at Tribal minimum wage for up to 350 hours. Students will be responsible for securing their own placement. We are available to assist, but ultimately it is the student’s responsibility to locate and develop a placement. A limited number of placements are available with the Tribe. Due to COVID, at this point most Tribal placements likely will be remote. Students selected for the program must complete an orientation, criminal history background check and drug screening (note: the Tribe does not recognize Oregon laws allowing the use of medical or recreational marijuana). Placements can begin in June and must be completed by Sept. 30, 2022. Students should send a completed application and an unofficial copy of transcripts to: By Mail CTSI Attn: College Internship Program P.O. Box 549 Siletz, OR 97380-0549 By Fax 541-444-2307 Be safe.
