Hands-on Skill Building

Exposing students to the diverse career opportunities within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields introduces them to real-world problem-solving scenarios, allowing them to apply their skills collaboratively to tackle complex challenges. Cultivating a skilled and diverse workforce is paramount for the prosperity and security of our nation.

Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Newport offers student internships for high school students through their Undersea Technology Apprentice Program (UTAP).

UTAP provides an opportunity for high school students to study and work part time for three weeks during the summer alongside NUWC Division Newport scientists and engineers. In the process, students gain valuable insights by working with advanced technology to develop a solution to real-world challenges.

The program is open to rising sophomores, juniors and seniors only. Please note that all application materials must be included for a student to be considered for an internship. All materials are due by April 1st.  Students will be notified by mid-May if accepted.
