The Inland Empire Tech Bridge has announced open application periods for three paid Navy internship and scholarship programs open to local Riverside and San Bernardino county high school and college students.
According to Inland Empire Tech Bridge Director Troy Clarke, the internships will give students experience in applying what they learn in school to solve real world science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) problems.
“These opportunities are an important component of the Inland Empire Tech Bridge objective,” he said. “They will directly help to nurture the STEM talent needed to drive advances in our regional innovation ecosystem.”
The programs can also be a stepping-stone for students looking for rewarding civilian careers. The following programs are currently accepting applications:

The Inland Empire Tech Bridge serves as a regional hub of innovation for the Navy in Norco and local partners in industry, academia, nonprofits and private capital to work together to find faster, better solutions to warfighter challenges.
NSWC Corona Division has served as the Navy's independent assessment agent since 1964. With more than 3,800 engineers, scientists and support personnel, Sailors and contractors, NSWC Corona is located in Norco, California, with detachments in Fallbrook and Seal Beach and personnel in 14 additional locations. The Naval Sea Systems Command field activity provides transparency for warfighting readiness through data analytics and assessment, engineers the fleet’s Live Virtual Constructive training environment, and assures the accuracy of measurements as the engineering advisor for the Navy and Marine Corps metrology and calibration programs.
