Does CenterPoint Energy offer internship or co-op opportunities for students?
Available internship and co-op opportunities are posted at selected schools in their career centers and/or the school’s career center Web site. CenterPoint Energy recruiters visit selected colleges, universities and trade schools in the spring and fall to recruit for internship, co-op and entry-level full time positions. We also work with INROADS to fill our internship positions and participate in career fairs and on-campus interviews. To apply for an internship or co-op position, check available openings at your school’s career center.
What is the difference between a co-op and an intern?
Co-op: Cooperative education provides full-time work experience that is completed during a student’s college career. The job is related to the student’s major, lasts more than one academic semester, is a paid position and is credited academically. CenterPoint Energy typically hires both electrical and mechanical engineering students for the fall and spring semesters.
Intern: An internship is a short-term position, either during the summer or regular school year, which offers job-related experience to students in their field of study. Most internships are paid, full-time positions. CenterPoint Energy has undergraduate and graduate summer internships in business, engineering and technology.
