Dear Prof. Torres,

The internship announcement attached to this email explains, in general terms, an

internship/part time job opportunity open to UPR Bayamon students. I would
appreciate a few moments of your time to review the program and consider
recommending it to any qualified students in your program. Fairfield Technologies
presently is adding interns to the program. Interns may work from their campus
location on flexible schedules and are paid minimum wage for ten hours per week
while in the program.

Our firm contracts with federal government agencies to enhance, maintain, and
develop information technology systems to meet the myriad requirements of each
agency and mission. Our current contracts are with scientific agencies (NOAA, NASA,
NIH), federal law enforcement (FBI, Department of Homeland Security/CBP), and the
intelligence community. Fairfield Technologies grew during the recent economic
downturn and we plan to continue our expansion.

Interns working for the Partnership for Technology Research (PTR) provide additional
research and writing support for our growing business. Their research assists our
current programs with ad hoc reports on emerging technology, trends, and alternate
methods. Other intern research supports our efforts to define, shape, and
successfully bid new business with the government and industry partners. In sum,
students take topics from a list of real issues we need to understand better as a
company, and they support our knowledge acquisition through their efforts.

As an adjunct faculty member at a Maryland liberal arts college, I know first hand
how difficult it can be for students to find positive internships, let alone part time,
paid work during the academic year. The PTR program provides that opportunity,
and allows students to work virtually from wherever they live and study. Please pass
the information on to interested students, and feel free to contact me with any
questions. As a trained academic Latin American historian, I welcome students
writing in either English or Spanish to this program.

Best regards,

Jay Harrison

 Partnership for Technology Research
Fairfield Technologies’ Partnership for Technology Research (PTR) is an
internship program that aims to develop vision, thought leadership, and
technical expertise in tomorrow’s leaders. FTI seeks bright, articulate
undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in emerging
information technologies and innovative business models to contribute to our
corporate research effort. The outcome of this research informs FTI’s
strategy, marketing, and services for our Federal government clients.
The program is a paid, part time internship offered to students willing
to perform research and succinct writing tasks on topics of interest to FTI and
its constituents. Interns perform research remotely and contribute written
products on selected topics each week of the internship. Internships will be
awarded for a minimum of two months and may be extended based on
performance and at the discretion of the internship coordinator.
PTR internships are part of FTI’s HUBZone employment focus. The
HUBZone program is a U.S. Small Business Administration program that
encourages businesses to invest in historically underutilized business zones
nationwide, a designation based on current census data. To qualify for the
FTI PTR internship, students must be able to verify residence in a SBA-
designated HUBZone. Students applying for the internship may visit
http://map.sba.gov/hubzone/init.asp#address to search their HUBZone
residence status. Our human resources group will provide verification
instructions to applicants and will request proper documentation at the time
an internship is considered.
