Question: OFRN R7 Solicitation: For the SEE Program, is it possible to have internship opportunities at the University where the academic organization would hire interns and then the interns would also gain experience at the Company? Where the Company would later intend on hiring the intern. For clarification could the university hire has an intern for 12 months and then the company hire as that intern as an employee for the remaining 6 months with the intention of a full time job? Would this arrangement be responsive to the SEE plan?
And/Or would it be acceptable to have student interns who work solely in the university labs, with the intention of the student being hired by the company after the program ends?
Response: All of these scenarios would be appropriate.
