INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
Department of Interior, Office of Appraisal Services (OAS), wants to hire
at least one intern for each of their 12 offices across the nation. The ideal
interns would be Native Americans, currently enrolled in community or
4-year college, preferably with some experience, course work or at least
some interest in real estate. The interns would work predominantly in the
regional OAS offices, but would likely also need to spend some time 'in the
field' to help appraise the Tribal properties within the jurisdiction of each
particular OAS regional office. Interns are needed ASAP.
