Idaho Power is celebrating #NationalInternDay this Thursday by highlighting the company’s summer engineering internship program.

The Idaho Power engineering internship program offers exciting opportunities for the future leaders of the energy industry to gain experience solving real-world challenges. Each summer, interns from local and regional colleges and universities are paired with Idaho Power engineering mentors to work on projects that complement the theories and practices they learn in class.

Through mentorship, summer projects, opportunities to cross-train and job shadow — as well as field trips! — they learn about the complex systems that deliver energy to customers in today’s high-tech electrical grid.

“The Idaho Power internship program was a great experience,” said former intern and current Idaho Power engineer Dakota Pfaff. “It showed me there was much more variety in the work compared to other companies, and I love that the impacts of your work can be seen directly in your community.”

In addition to the summer engineering internship program, Idaho Power also offers other varying internship opportunities — in departments like Information Technology, Human Resources, and Environmental — to help prepare the state’s future workforce for the exciting and challenging work ahead.
