Laboratory Shallow Underground Laboratory Breadcrumb Partner with PNNL Education Internships Internships Inspiring and educating the next generation of STEM professionals PNNL partners with colleges, universities, and high schools to offer student internships in a wide range of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and business fields. Internships are open to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, with opportunities either during the summer or academic year. As a PNNL intern, students can work in a laboratory alongside experienced researchers or in a PNNL office to expand their knowledge in a scientific field, develop their research abilities and business skills, and form relationships with PNNL’s scientists, engineers, and business leaders. Opportunities for High School Students During the academic year, PNNL offers internships to high school students interested in either business or research, with work available up to four hours per day, five days per week. The High School Business Intern program allows students to work closely with experienced PNNL business professionals, while students in the High School Research Intern program receive mentorship in a laboratory setting from PNNL scientists and engineers. PNNL offers elective credits for these internships through work-based learning programs at students’ schools. The Summer Research Apprenticeship and Young Women in Science summer programs last 10 weeks and give students interested in STEM fields opportunities to conduct laboratory research with PNNL mentors. In addition to direct research experience, these programs include leadership development activities, field trips, and communications and career awareness workshops. Students must be at least 18 years of age to be eligible to work in PNNL laboratory spaces and in some field work settings. Join Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) for our Pathway Summer School for the Department of Energy’s Office of Science’s Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) initiative sponsored by the Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS). If you are a graduating high school senior interested in learning about renewable energy and exploring what it is like to be an intern at PNNL, this 4-week experience is ideal for you! You will participate in a culturally relevant, active learning experience that unpacks the science behind wind energy, hydropower, and marine energy. Opportunities for College and University Students PNNL hires hundreds of undergraduate and graduate student interns each year through a variety of internship programs: Community College Internships and...
