College Internships
Each year, JEA proudly hosts high school and college students in a wide variety of internship and mentoring programs. These programs provide hands-on experience for students already enrolled in degree and technical programs in their chosen field.
Summer Co-Op Program

College students will be selected for an opportunity to gain real-world, on-the-job experience, network with business professionals and develop valuable leadership, professional etiquette and presentation skills. The program is a paid 32-hour-per-week, 12-week internship. Be sure to visit this page for application deadlines and additional requirements for this program. Watch the video below to see what past and present co-ops say about their experience.
Eligibility Requirements

What's the Difference Between a Co-op and an Internship?
Both provide work experience related to your college major. However, Co-Ops can be multi-term and are paid. For example, a student Co-Op might work in the summer, go to school in the fall and work again at JEA the following summer semester. Internships are usually – but not always – one term and are usually in the fall or spring, and Interns only receive a small stipend for parking.
