Network Engineering Internship with AT&T

Network Engineering Technical Development Program Internship (NETDP)

At AT&T, our Chief Technology Office (CTO) is the embodiment of innovation. We're responsible for developing, designing, planning and building AT&T's wireless and wired networks, including the nation's fastest 3G wireless network, our groundbreaking U-verse network and one of the world's largest and most advanced IP backbone networks. Just as importantly, our team conducts industry-leading research and development for network technologies as well as the applications that take advantage of connectivity

We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic students to participate in a summer internship for our Network Planning and Engineering Organization with a focus on engineering, managerial and financial aspects of the business. Individuals will gain invaluable knowledge on how to design, build, and operate wireless networks. Unlike other engineering internships, this person will get experience in several different aspects of our always changing business environment and will learn a broad prospective of the telecommunications business by interacting with senior management. It's a demanding role with high expectations.

During the internship, you’ll work on meaningful projects and deliver results. We give our interns the chance to understand how organizations work together to achieve their overall goals. We’ll match you with a team, and outline exactly what you’re expected to achieve. Our Executive Speaker Series will give you the chance to interact with our executives and gain insight from the leaders of AT&T.

And on the subject of leadership, at the end of your internship, you’ll present your accomplishments to VPs of AT&T and show the value you brought to the company. You’ll gain invaluable skills, work with the industry’s best professionals and be rewarded for your efforts.

Upcoming Washington Center Deadlines for D.C. Internships

Are you interested in doing an internship in Washington, D.C.? If yes, The Washington Center (TWC) runs a full-time internship program in Washington, D.C. that is open to all UW students and provides comprehensive service, including internship placement and housing. Placements include government agencies, corporations, nonprofits and international organizations. Hundreds of UW students have participated in this program since UW's affiliation in 1977, and many have made connections that led to post-degree employment.

Upcoming application deadlines are:
Summer Quarter 2011, Competitive*: 2/4/11, Regular: 3/11/11
Autumn Quarter 2011, Early**: 1/21/11, Competitive*: 5/2/11, Regular: 6/10/11
Spring Quarter 2012, Early**: 5/23/11, Competitive*: 10/7/11, Regular: 1/13/12
* Deadline for scholarship eligibility (Regular deadline for WA State
scholarship)
** See http://www.twc.edu/students/earlydeadlines.shtml for the list of organizations that require applications by the early deadline

Note that some established internship programs, such as the Congressional Black Caucus, may require earlier application submissions than the deadlines noted above.

All participating students earn 15 credits of Pol S 498. If you are a resident of WA State, there are additional costs to going to D.C. through TWC that are often significantly defrayed by scholarships. If you are a non-resident, the cost is often comparable to attending UW.

Regardless of your major, there is an internship position for you. I am the liaison who helps students to prepare their applications, so if you would like to know more, please contact me for an appointment. Information is also available online at www.twc.edu

places such as a national park in the eastern Himalayas or remote
minority villages in southern Sichuan. The program is open to all
majors and is a great opportunity to make huge gains in Chinese
language skills and to really engage with China.

2011 UW Business Plan Competition!

The UW Business Plan Competition is an opportunity to make serious headway on that great idea you've been tossing around for months (or years!). And if you're already working on your start-up, it's an excellent way to gain visibility from the community - we have over 350 members of the Seattle entrepreneurial and investment community involved in judging and coaching our competition. The competition is also full of networking opportunities - both with other competitors and the wider Northwest entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Now in its 14^th year, the UW Business Plan Competition is designed to bring interdisciplinary teams of students together to promote student start-up ideas and venture creation. Any degree-seeking college or university student in the state of Washington can submit his/her 5- to 7-page executive summary to the BPC.

The Grand Prize is $25,000, and in total the BPC awards $140,000 each year to student teams to fund their companies. 87 student teams have received funding to date, many of which are still going strong, including: Contour, Nanocel, Epic Seats, Athleon, NanoString Technologies, Giant Campus, Brass Media, and Impel Neuropharma, just to name a few.

The competition takes place in spring quarter, and the deadline to enter is Wednesday, April 6, 2011. Right now we're also offering Resource Nights to help students prepare to enter the competition. These workshops provide an opportunity to learn first-hand from local entrepreneurs the essentials of business planning and what it really takes to get a company off the ground. The nine sessions run each Thursday night, January 6 through March 3, from 6-7:30 pm.

You can learn more about the Business Plan Competition and the Resource Nights on our website. If you have any questions about the UW Business Plan Competition or the Resource Nights, please contact Sarah Massey, manager of the competition, at masses@uw.edu or 206.685.9868.
