Transportation Intern Program (TIP)
AGENCY APPLICATION
Oklahoma State University’s Center for Local Government Technology (CLGT) will place seven students from transportation related degree programs as interns with government agencies responsible for the maintenance, construction and/or planning of local transportation systems through it’s Transportation Intern Program (TIP).  Eligible agencies include the public works and transportation departments of city, county, and tribal governments, Circuit Engineering Districts, and Councils on Governments.  While interns will work directly under the supervision of a participating local government agency, they will be paid as student employees of CLGT.  CLGT’s Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) and Tribal Technical Assistance Program (TTAP) and the Oklahoma Transportation Center (OTC) fund this program.

To apply to become a hosting local government agency, please complete the online application.  In that this is, in effect, a competition between agencies to secure the services of an intern, it is important that you accurately and completely describe how you intend to use them.  We will make the matches based on the sponsoring agencies needs and the intern’s educational backgrounds and goals.

The intern’s tenure will begin shortly after their spring semester ends in May and will conclude before their fall semester commences in August.  Students will be required to submit time sheets and activity reports on a bi-weekly basis and to deliver a presentation describing their internship at its conclusion.  Some students will be asked to participate in the Oklahoma Department of Transportation Research Day in October 2012.  Eligible students are those attending the Oklahoma Transportation Center member institutions – the University of Oklahoma, Langston University and Oklahoma State University.
