Applied Studies Internship

Gain experience and enhance your skills

The Applied Studies Internship (ASI) program is a post-graduate program for students that want to jump start their careers. This 12-month paid internship allows you to gain high-level experience, access to cutting edge technology, and develop sought after skills employers are looking for. The ASI program combines classroom learning with an intensive hands on work place practicum.

The practicum provides you, as a graduate of a technical program, with the opportunity to enhance your skills by participating in an experiential workplace paid internship at the Army Learning Support Centre (ALSC) at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown.

Internships are offered in the following fields of study:

The Internship

Build your portfolio while working with state-of-the-art equipment!

As an intern of the Army Learning Support Centre (ALSC) you will learn how to utilize industry standard technologies to develop advanced training for the military. The ALSC designs and develops distance learning, 3D models, gaming applications, animations, graphic print media, videos, and photography to help modernize army training.

The ALSC immerses you in a production environment that places emphasis on teamwork. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with ALSC personnel who have expertise in your field, as well as fellow interns. The support does not stop there! This program will also provide each intern with a mentor whose mandate is to assist you in your new role and to provide you with the support you need to succeed.

The Gear

Each intern is assigned a workstation for completing his or her daily tasks. The facilities are among the best in the country and include state-of-the-art technology and equipment; 3D print capability, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality tools such as Oculus and HoloLens.

The Projects

We want to build on your skills and hone in on project planning, the development process, and the importance of quality. You will be exposed to many different projects and experiences while you are with us. You will be working on individual projects as well as actual community based projects.

Because our training materials are directly aligned with military training you will get the experience to touch, work and play with actual military equipment, vehicles, simulators, etc.

The Classroom

Develop the soft skills that industry is looking for!

To enhance the technical training you already possess, you will focus on the following areas of study:

The Delivery

Study while you work!

NBCC has created a flexible delivery model for your coursework that will enable you to attend your practicum during the day.  Most of your classes will take place online or in the evening at NBCC Fredericton.

Credential

Upon successful completion of the program, you will receive a Graduate Certificate in Applied Studies Internship. You will also benefit from adding a full year of working experience to your resume and will leave with a robust portfolio from your time as a member of the ALSC within the Department of National Defence.

You will also have the option to apply for the mentorship program, which will give you another year in the program. The mentorship program focuses on mentoring/coaching and gives you the opportunity to learn these skills while applying them in a work environment. These skills are sought after in industry and will further enhance your leadership capabilities.

Applied Studies Mentorship

Develop sought after leadership skills!

If you enjoyed your experience in the program, wish to play a role in the success of future interns, are interested in further developing your soft skills and project portfolio, you will have the opportunity to apply for the one-year Mentorship program. The mentorship program takes your soft skills to a whole new level with a focus on mentorship, leadership, supervision, effective team building, and understanding diverse learning styles.  You will have the opportunity to practice and develop these skills as you work closely with the interns throughout your time with NBCC and the ALSC.
