A number of DTI engineering and programming staff will be based in the Brookings location and are tasked with directing a year around internship program at the office. Sjogren continued, “Through the internship program, we hope to add value to the student experience by providing real world context for the development of ideas and skills that students are applying themselves towards in school.” Sjogren said students will have the potential opportunity to pursue full-time positions following graduation.
