Business, Computing, Engineering Undergraduate Student Internships for Summer 2025

We’re excited to announce that the job board for the Summer 2025 internship program is live! We have 280 positions available across both San Diego and Imperial Counties. 

Students who are not moving forward in the internship program were notified and provided resources on how to find an internship or other WBL opportunities. Approved students were notified and provided the job board link.

Approved students can apply for jobs between March 14 - April 15 by noon

To assist students with the next steps, students were emailed about a virtual Student Information Session happening this week. In this session, students will:

• Learn how to navigate the job website and apply for specific positions
• Understand the interview, selection, and onboarding processes 
• Learn career preparation tips: tailored resume, professional communication, interviewing skills

New this year to help prepare your students!

Lastly, we have exciting news! Your college’s verification sheet is being updated in real-time with the company name and positions that your students are applying for. Later, you will see interview updates and offers. Who has access to the verification sheet at your college? Email heather@k16talentpipeline.org

For internship program information, including the timeline, please see the additional resources at the bottom of https://k16talentpipeline.org/educators/internships/.
