Technician Apprentice Internship

Overview

The Test Facilities Operation, Maintenance and Engineering (TFOME) contract at the NASA Glenn Research Center provides engineering and technical services in the aeropropulsion and space propulsion and power test facilities.

Our goal is to create a short-term entry-level work program for employment of graduating high school students who attend vocational trade schools and desire a technical career in the fields of mechanics, electronics, electrical, and manufacturing (machining & metal fabrication, instrumentation, and welding) in a research environment. These offerings will connect trade school academics to a hands-on experience in the workplace through job shadowing and internships.
