If you were buying a car, you'd look under the hood, feel the upholstery and probably kick the tires a time or two. Then take the car for a test drive. When choosing the right company to work for, why not do the same? Be our guest. Intel offers many internships that provide you with a real-world learning experience in a test-drive setting. An excellent way to see Intel from the inside, you can put your education to work while interacting with exciting technologies that are changing the way we live, play and work.
With an Intel internship, explore your dream career interests. Experience various business groups and technologies in hardware design, software design, manufacturing and marketing. Match your interest and passion in technology with such areas as processor architecture, chipset design or flash memory. Or if your passion runs to sales or marketing, an Intel internship will give you a foundation in Intel's products and services, while building your technical knowledge and business communication skills.
As you build a network of professional contacts and work with the latest technologies, you'll be treated like a regular employee, with a high set of expectations, challenges and deliverables. But you'll balance that drive with fun networking opportunities like playing sports or exploring the local area.
 
Putting Your Education to Work
 
Intel is looking for interns with the right mix of education, skills and experience to develop innovative technologies that will change the way we live and work. To learn more about what internships are available in your country, please check out the Student Center and select the appropriate location.
Although the requirements vary by country, most Intel interns are involved in one of the following (or comparable) degree programs.
 
For technical opportunities, Intel typically hires students working toward degrees (bachelors, masters or PhDs) in:
    Chemical Engineering
    Computer Engineering
    Computer Science
    Electrical Engineering
    Industrial Engineering
    Material Science Mechanical Engineering
    Physics
 
For business opportunities, Intel typically hires undergraduate and graduate students in all business majors. For Masters of Business Administration (MBA) students, a technical undergraduate degree helps.
 
For students enrolled full-time in specific two-year electronics and technology programs, several Intel manufacturing facilities in cooperation with participating colleges, offer paid internships. These internships offer hands-on technical education and experience and valuable networking opportunities. There are a limited number of internships available, so early application is encouraged.
 
One of the great advantages of technician internships is the flexible scheduling, designed to work around your school schedule. Our Compressed Work Week offers a three or four day week that gives you time for all your other interests and activities.

From Intern to Plant Manager
David, an Intel fab manager, started at Intel in 1984 as a summer electronics technician intern while studying for his electronics engineering degree.

"When I received my degree three years later, I became an industrial engineer at Intel and, later, a supervisor. Faced with going down the management or engineering career paths, I chose management. Over the next several years, I worked in various fab management positions such as an operations manager and shift manager. I then moved into my current role as a manufacturing manager where I'm responsible for factory operations, including safety, quality, output, employee development, and equipment maintenance."

"Intel gave me the freedom and flexibility to complete my undergraduate work and later, my Master's degree in industrial engineering. I was able to drive my own career with the help of the company and the support of my managers."
