Overview

At NASA, we explore the extraordinary every day and our work is more than just a profession—it’s a lifelong pursuit and a passion. NASA offers students challenging projects and on-the-job experiences, building confidence, essential technical skills, and career readiness, all essential for the nation’s workforce.

NASA's Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) paid internships allow college-level students to contribute to the agency's mission to advance science, technology, aeronautics, and space exploration.

OSTEM internships offer students an opportunity to gain practical work experience while working side-by-side with mentors who are research scientists, engineers, and individuals from many other professions. Internships may be full time or part time on a NASA center or facility. Join our NASA team and gain valuable on-the-job experience, build your resume, and strengthen your career readiness. We offer three sessions annually, so visit our website often for opportunities.
