OPNFV Internship is for University students–either undergraduate or graduate–who are interested in contributing to the OPNFV project. Each intern will be working with a mentor in the OPNFV community to complete a project within 3-6 months (interns are expected to dedicate a minimum of 20 hours a week on their project). This is a paid internship program and we welcome interns from anywhere in the world.
