This 10-week paid summer program is for undergraduate or graduate students pursuing degrees in Cybersecurity, Information Technology and other related fields. U.S. citizenship is required.

Interns will receive hands-on experience that provides an understanding of the mission, operations and culture of DOE while holding appointments at DOE national laboratories across the U.S., Power Marketing Administrations, plants, DOE Headquarters and other sites.

Leading scientists, engineers and other professionals will mentor the interns to address cybersecurity and information technology challenges while gaining real-world experience.
