About CAL

Internship Program

The internship program at CAL provides an opportunity for qualified individuals interested in language, linguistics, language testing, and related areas to gain experience working with CAL professional staff on projects appropriate to the interests and skills of the intern.

Internships may take place at any time during the year, but most occur during the summer months.  There is no minimum or maximum length of service.

To apply:

1. Download and complete an Intern Application form, available in two formats below.

PDF |  MS Word

2. Submit the form along with the following materials to Phyllis Pointer-Tate via email (ptate@cal.org) or conventional mail at the address below:

• A current résumé and cover letter

• A transcript or a list of relevant courses you have completed

• Two letters of recommendation (If they are sent separately, please provide a list of names and phone numbers of the references with your application.)

Resumes will be reviewed by the appropriate divisions within CAL.  For consideration for summer internships, applicants should submit their information no later than March 15th each year. Final decisions for the summer intern program are usually made in late April each year.

CAL's recruitment of interns will follow the same Equal Employment regulations as recruitment for staff and will not discriminate in selection based upon race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, handicap, or any other reason not related to employment.
