Sandia/NM Student Internship Programs represent a significant and integral part of our total recruiting strategy.
To meet the Labs' future work force needs for trained scientists, engineers, administrators and technicians at all degree levels, we maintain internship programs that...
- Offer students training and practical work experience in the operation of state-of-the-art equipment and instruments. Interns work under the direction of a mentor, in a variety of technical and business disciplines.
- Identify undergraduate students as potential graduate school candidates. Internship programs are offered during the summer (local high school and college students work year-round).
- Help students gain academic credit while working. Co-Op internships are offered during the spring, fall, and winter. (Co-Op or internship offices at your institution can assist you in determining if academic credit is available.)
- Increase access to underrepresented students upon graduation. Graduate programs provide underrepresented students with access to graduate education through fellowships and paid summer employment.
- Identify outstanding graduates for possible full-time employment.
- Present workshops, seminars, luncheons, and a speaker forums series. All students are invited to present either a poster or oral presentation at the end-of-summer symposium.
