Intern
Statistics for FY '09
Although
most of our reporting is
based on calendar year,
the Museum also follows
a fiscal year (FY '09: 1
Oct 08 to 30 Sep 09) for
annual reporting.
In
FY '09
there
were a
total
of 389internship
appointments
administered
by the
National
Museum
of Natural
History.
For comparison:
Thus,
FY '09
counts
show a
38% increase
from FY
'08 and
156% increase
from FY
05.
The
FY 09
count
of 389
includes
7 individuals
who declined
or didn't
successfully
complete
their
internship
and 2
who didn't
show up
to complete
registration.
During
FY 09
interns
contributed
125,186
hours.
This
represents
an increase
of 34,896
hours
from FY
08 and
more than
doubles
those
from FY
'06. For
comparison:
In
FY '09
the average
number
of contributed
hours
per intern
was 322
hours
which
is almost
exactly
the same
as FY
'08 (321)
and FY
'07 (324
hours).
There
were 328
new internship
appointments
started
(registered)
during
FY '09,
compared
to 250
new internship
appointments
started
(registered)
during
FY '08.
In FY
'09 the
Smithsonian,
SCEMS
office
registered
a total
of 1,293
interns
Institution-wide.
Reporting
for calendar
year (1
Jan 09
to 31
Dec 09)
shows
a total
of 438
internships
(41 processed
for appointments
to begin
in the
next year,
334 completed,
49 carry
over and
14 declined)
with an
additional
internship
46 appointments
recorded
at NMNH
from 1
Oct 09
to 31
Dec 09.
Thus,
a grand
total
of 474.
There
were 36
appointments
that carried
over fiscal
year FY
08 to
FY 09
but closed
in calendar
year 2008.
