It's more like JROTC, since they won't have anything paid and they won't hve a guaranteed job in the Department, even if it boosts their chances of getting hired. It's a summer internship, too, it's not year-long, and it doesn't offer scholarships. Plus these students won't be required to join the Department, whereas if we did it more like ROTC, they'd be required to join.
