Summer internship programs have evolved far beyond coffee runs and shadowing\u2014today’s leading employers are treating internships as a strategic pillar of their talent pipeline. This year’s cohort of programs ranges from tight-knit groups of 6 interns to sprawling global initiatives hosting 400+ young professionals across multiple continents. Along the way, companies are getting creative: some pair every intern with both a manager and a peer mentor, others run executive speaker series or TopGolf outings to build camaraderie, and a few have interns shipping real work that ends up in the hands of actual customers. We asked organizations across industries\u2014from insurance tech to energy to legal services\u2014to share how they structure their programs, from cohort size and duration to the budget, staff, and tools they dedicate to making the experience count. Here’s what they told us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Trimble, we believe that your work matters and who you are matters, which is why we offer meaningful and impactful work opportunities to early-career talent. We look for people who get stuff done and invite them to turn their ambition into a structured summer internship program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our global internship programs range from 10 weeks to one year, depending on the region, and host approximately 350 interns annually. These large-scale programs span major hubs across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, providing interns with a day-to-day experience grounded in focused execution that impacts real-world outcomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trimble interns are fully embedded within our teams, working on tangible projects that directly contribute to our products and solutions. Our interns don’t just shadow teams; they jump right into execution! For instance, a group of Trimble interns recently developed and launched a global workbook and training framework that helps educational institutions seamlessly implement SketchUp in classrooms, a resource that is now actively used by schools worldwide to inspire the next generation of builders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another group of interns worked directly on high-stakes engineering, helping redesign and recalibrate an advanced positioning service to achieve centimeter-level precision for autonomous vehicles across our civil construction and agriculture sectors. This work resulted in a cutting-edge upgrade that customers now use in the field every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure our interns can turn their ambition into action, we back the program with the full stability of a multi-billion-dollar global technology leader. We allocate dedicated corporate funding and top-tier resources to set them up for success. Interns do not work in isolation; they have access to the same advanced software, hardware, and engineering tools that our employees use. Furthermore, every intern receives continuous guidance and support from their direct manager and a peer mentor. Trimble interns experience how their individual growth connects to the big picture of a unified, human-centered ecosystem. We fund dedicated cohort programming, professional development workshops, and an exclusive executive speaker series where interns can engage directly with leadership and learn more about Trimble innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each summer, Vertafore welcomes talented students and emerging professionals for a paid, 10-week internship experience focused on meaningful, hands-on work. In 2026, we\u2019re proud to host 15 interns across Customer Support, Development, Finance, HR, Marketing, Professional Services, and Sales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From day one, our interns roll up their sleeves and contribute to real-world projects that support our employees, customers, and business. They\u2019re embedded with teams, supported by managers and mentors, and given the tools, training, and feedback they need to do work that matters. Along the way, they build valuable skills, expand their professional networks, and gain insight into the insurance technology industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program also includes professional development opportunities, training, and workshops moderated by Vertafore subject-matter experts.

Our internship program helps us invest in future talent, bring fresh perspectives into the business, and strengthen the future of our industry.

Interns contribute to projects that support our employees, customers, and business, while our teams benefit from their energy, curiosity, creativity, and ideas.

Each summer, LexisNexis Legal & Professional welcomes approximately 28\u201330 interns to our Global Technology Organization in Raleigh, North Carolina. The program runs from the beginning of June through mid-August, and interns join Software Engineering, Data Science, Data Engineering, and Data\/Business Analyst teams, with team leaders identifying their specific hiring needs each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interns are onboarded together as a cohort and are placed with their functional teams based on a leadership-driven allocation process. From day one, every intern is paired with a buddy or mentor, so they have a go-to resource beyond their manager. Alongside their day-to-day team work, interns take part in cohort learning sessions led by presenters from across the business covering software engineering and data science essentials, plus dedicated soft-skills training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is backed by a cross-functional support system spanning Talent Acquisition, Employee Experience, and Human Resources Business Partners aligned to our technology leaders. That support translates into real, ongoing investment: structured onboarding, team lunches, networking events with our Aspire graduates, and continued connection through Microsoft Teams and regular formal check-ins throughout the summer. Interns aren’t required to prepare a capstone presentation unless their manager chooses to build one in; the focus stays on meaningful contribution rather than a performative send-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does your summer internship program contribute to your organization’s strategic objectives? <\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our internship program is a direct pipeline into Aspire, our 12-month graduate program, which means the relationships and impact interns build over the summer often continue well beyond it. That pipeline is a deliberate investment in one of our four strategic pillars: Invest in People & Culture, while the caliber of work interns take on also supports another pillar: Accelerate Growth & Innovation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets the experience apart is that interns are given real work on real systems, not manufactured “intern projects.” Our technology teams intentionally hand interns problems that affect actual customers, and the results speak to how well that resonates: 100% of interns and Aspire grads say the experience makes them likely to recommend a career at LexisNexis to others. Aspire graduates see a 90% retention rate 12 months post-graduation, with 84% promoted to their next career track at graduation. In 2025, participants rated the overall Aspire experience 9.6 out of 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interns come in as individuals, but the cohort structure gives them an instant support system and sense of belonging, something they consistently tell us makes the summer feel less like an internship and more like the start of a career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our summer internship program is strategically designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world industrial impact. We typically welcome a cohort of approximately 400 summer interns annually for a high-impact summer experience that focuses on three core pillars: Strategic Project Contribution, Professional Skill Development, and Professional Networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Program Structure & Experience: Interns are embedded into various business functions and locations, ensuring they contribute to strategic initiatives that move the needle for our organization. The intern experience is carefully curated to balance individual growth with business value. We ensure meaningful mentorship by prioritizing the co-location of interns with their assignment leaders and core project teams fostering real-time collaboration. We also assign them buddies and mentors which all help to introduce them to our culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resource Allocation & Governance: We treat our internship program as a critical investment in our talent pipeline:
\u2022 Strategic Allocation: Assignment placements are determined through a matching process that balances intern interests and career goals with business needs and high-visibility initiatives.
\u2022 Dedicated Support Infrastructure: The program is managed by our Early Career Center of Excellence (COE). This team manages the end-to-end intern lifecycle, including pre-boarding, onboarding, continuous engagement, and offboarding.
\u2022 Cross-Functional ‘Tiger Teams’: To ensure consistent, high-quality support across our footprint, we deploy a cross-functional ‘Tiger Team’ of subject matter experts. This group is dedicated specifically to the summer cohort, providing programmatic oversight, professional development workshops, and on-site support.
\u2022 Budgetary Commitment: The program is backed by a dedicated budget managed by the Early Career COE, ensuring that we provide the necessary tools, learning platforms, and resources to empower our interns to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our summer internship program is a critical enabler of GE Vernova\u2019s strategic priorities, particularly as we position the company to lead in the global energy transition. To meet the growing demand for sustainable, reliable, and electrified energy solutions, we must build a strong, future-ready talent pipeline\u2014and our internship program serves as a key entry point into this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interns are embedded across our businesses and functions. They are placed in meaningful assignments where they contribute to real projects that advance our mission of delivering more sustainable energy solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is intentionally designed as the first stage of a multi-phase early career journey. During the summer, interns develop a strong understanding of GE Vernova\u2019s purpose, strategy, and the diverse energy portfolio we manage\u2014from grid solutions to renewable technologies. Through structured learning, exposure to senior leaders, and cross-functional collaboration, interns build both technical and professional capabilities that are crucial to our culture and the energy landscape we operate in. This foundation is further strengthened as they transition into full-time early career roles, where we continue to invest in their growth and readiness for roles of increasing impact. Two main pathways interns can enter our company full time are through our 5 development programs or through direct hire roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equally important, the internship program fuels innovation within GE Vernova. Interns bring fresh perspectives, digital fluency, and creative problem-solving approaches that help us tackle complex challenges in new ways. We intentionally create an environment where these ideas are encouraged and applied, reinforcing our culture of continuous improvement and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the success of our internship program is reflected in its ability to convert high-performing interns into full-time talent, accelerate the development of future leaders, and ensure GE Vernova remains competitive in addressing the world\u2019s most pressing energy challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
