Employment will be contingent on satisfactory completion of a background check.

Interviews will be conducted only with those applicants invited by NICPP. The Consortium schedules interviews for all sites at a central location on two dates in January and will assign a date and time to each applicant invited to interview. Interviews for prospective interns in 2012-2013 will be held on Friday, January 6th, and Friday, January 13th, 2012. Open houses at the various Consortium site locations will be on the preceding Thursdays, January 5th and January 12th, 2012. While it is strongly recommended that applicants try to attend one of the Consortium interview days and the open houses, we recognize that this may not be feasible for all applicants. Opportunities for rescheduling on interview days, or for phone/Skype interviews and alternate on-site interview dates, are not guaranteed and are made available at the sole discretion of the site-based Training Director. Applicants who are unable to attend the interview days, or who would like to schedule a phone/Skype interview, should contact the site-based Training Director(s) and the NICPP Administrative Assistant (Allison Nespor) to discuss whether an alternative interview date can be arranged.

Complete information on the Matching Program is available at www.appic.org/match/5_2_match_about.html. This internship site agrees to abide by the APPIC policy that no person at this training facility will solicit, accept, or use any ranking-related information from any intern applicant.
