SCOuT Program

The Student Career On-Site Training Program (SCOuT) is an unpaid volunteer program that offers selected students an opportunity to experience the wide variety of careers and operational duties that exist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS).
During the spring school semester, students and assigned mentors coordinate job shadows at multiple NOAA and NWS facilities to gain first-hand experience in meteorology, hydrology, and other environmental science related fields within the agencies.

This opportunity is currently only available to students attending one of the following universities:

• College of Charleston (SC)

• Louisiana State University
• University of Arizona

Additional universities may be included in the future.
