See what these current or past interns have to say about an Internship at UCG.

	We are proud to participate in the University of Maryland CMPS Corporate Scholars Program. To find out more about this program, please visit the program's website.

Interns start by spending time in several of UCG's technology areas to help identify the best match with your interests and skill sets. Returning interns choose an area in which they would like to hone their talents. Regardless of the area of work, you will immediately be mentored by caring technology experts with real-world opportunities and challenges.

DEVELOPMENT – Join top developers in creating customized applications, web sites, and solutions using the latest Microsoft, J2EE, and Macromedia tools and innovative data search technologies. Your solutions will communicate with Microsoft SQL, Oracle, or DB2 databases. You will be encouraged to creatively provide software solutions to real business needs.

SOFTWARE TESTING – We dare you to break our software! You will test every feature of our software products to make sure our customers never have problems with our web and distributed applications. You will report bugs then re-test the applications after fixes are installed.

SYSTEMS – Help build and maintain our Rockville Data Center servers and networks. Work with a wide range of hardware, from IBM rack-mount servers running all flavors of Microsoft operating systems and SQL, to IBM RS-6000 servers running DB2, to Sun Servers fronting Oracle databases to Stratus systems, all over our Cisco switches and firewalls. You will assemble new hardware and monitor systems to prevent systems outages.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT – Help provide technical support to our 1000 UCG employees. You will communicate with employees via phone and email to identify and resolve desktop and technical issues. You will upgrade desktop hardware and software and you will help train new employees in the use of Microsoft office applications.

If you have graduated or are about to graduate from High School and “get” computers and technology, you should seriously consider a UCG internship. Not all of our interns are pursuing computer science degrees; you just have to love computers and technology. You should also ask your school guidance counselor about how you can receive academic credit for your work at UCG.

Most interns start with the summertime program and always have an option of working part-time during the school year. Our flex-hours accommodate your schedule; our always-casual work environment won't stress your wardrobe. We will even put you to work as a temporary full-time employee during school breaks and extended holidays if your schedule allows and your budget requires.

Some final things you should consider - interns completing 3 years of internship have always been offered full-time employment on college graduation. Full-time employment opportunities in Software Testing and Technical Support are usually available to interns deciding not to continue with college.

As you can see from the intern stories above, UCG technology internships can result in rapid movement into management in UCG technology and can provide a financially rewarding career path. This could be your opportunity for a challenging and rewarding career. Send us your resume today at jobs@ucg.com.
