The Institute’s Climate and Growth Internship Program matches highly motivated students with employers offering substantive, skill-building internships in the fields of climate and energy designed to foster professional growth and industry-relevant skills.
These internships are full time and may be conducted in person or virtually during the summer term (approximately 10 weeks). Each intern is paired with a designated supervisor who provides consistent guidance, mentorship, and structured performance feedback.
