It has been a fantastic fall for the DHS AOIT. Our program is really starting to take off and this past summer our first ever class completed their internships this past summer. When this process began last winter it is safe to say that many students were dreading the interviews and the leg work associated with landing a job. However it is this fall that the students are seeing the “fruits of their labor.” So many AOIT students had a great experience this past summer working for companies such as Patton Electronics, Lockheed Martin and Data Networks.
We are in the process of planning our first ever Pinning Ceremony to recognize students completing their internships. Stay tuned for more information related to this event, it should be a great event!
