We are always actively seeking interns throughout the year. We seek individuals with interests in Telecommunications, Information Technology and High Tech. The ideal candidate should have some experience working in the telecom and IT sectors. This person should also be very organized and detail-oriented and be able to handle many different responsibilities simultaneously. The candidate must also be able to attend organization related events, activities and meetings. This is an unpaid internship, however you receive tremendous benefits. Interns will also be expected to provide general office and administrative support to the organization. Please e-mail resumes and cover letters to president@ntgts.org.
Our Society seeks to stimulate friendships, professional cooperation, and respect in order to effectively promote cross-cultural developments and commerce. A further goal of the Society is to provide members and organizations with the information, resources, and tools that better enable them to take advantage of the developments occurring in the international communications and technology arenas. The organization also fosters personal/professional development and the networking needs of its members by providing access to a global network of industry contacts and leaders. In addition, one of the Society's key missions is to continue expanding and developing into other markets worldwide.
NTGTS and CTC interns learn about telecommunications and IT trends, issues and developments as well as non-profit organization and management through hands-on experience. These internships are excellent opportunities to develop industry, event planning, fundraising, communication and leadership skills; make valuable industry contacts; and become familiar with the telecom and high tech landscape. Although the positions are unpaid, educational credit is possible. We are seeking loyal interns who will be available for the duration of the internship and able to commit to a minimum of a 15-20 hour/week schedule. Candidates for internships must exhibit strong computer skills and express an interest in learning about the industry's current environment. Telecom, Business, E-commerce, Engineering, IT, and Computer Science majors will be given preference. If interested, please contact president@ntgts.org.
This is a win-win situation: we obtain needed help, and interns receive valuable experience and contacts.

Past Intern Testimonials "During my MBA that focused on telecom, I got involved with NTGTS as an intern to get a little bit more exposure in the industry I was pursuing. The experience was very enriching and NTGTS gave me the opportunity to meet several groups in the telecom arena. My participation organizing the events helped me to develop my planning and communications skills in a real business environment with top leaders in the area from the most diverse backgrounds and views of the industry. Not only did developing contacts with real business and topics open my mind, the leadership at NTGTS was also very interested in my personal development. I really enjoy working with the team NTGTS built. I can only thank NTGTS for the opportunity to be part of the team.” Sergio Hirai Program Manager, Microsoft Corp. “I had one of the best experiences being an intern at NTGTS. I had the opportunity to help the execution of the group’s initiatives. I highly recommend to anyone to join and be part of the all activities related to NTGTS.
I also learned and met key people that shaped my career goals.”
Alejandro Silva Barron "During my internship with NTGTS, I was provided with many opportunities to meet industry leaders, learn about key players and new developments, and network with many similarly-minded people. I applied my experience while working as a contractor for Verizon and SBC (now AT&T), and continue to rely upon the things I learned during my internship in my current position as a consultant with Oliver Wyman."
