The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) Volunteer Student Internship Program (VSIP) is part of a larger effort by the commands to help cultivate future generations of defense and security practitioners. Our VSIP provides students exposure to NORAD and USNORTHCOM missions and responsibilities while working alongside current military and civilian professionals dedicated to the defense of North America. Participants in the NORAD and USNORTHCOM VSIP gain valuable hands-on experience related to their educational endeavors while working in a joint, interagency, and international environment at NORAD and USNORTHCOM headquarters in Colorado Springs. Students may potentially earn academic credit for the work performed and those that qualify may receive a Department of Defense secret clearance.
