These internships enable students to collaborate with experienced scientists and engineers in order to develop innovative solutions to challenging, real-world projects.

An INL internship builds confidence, introduces students to possible career fields, and complements what they are studying in school.

Duties: INL strives to make the internship experience as valuable as possible. Internships are structured based on an 80/20 philosophy. INL encourages interns to spend 80 percent of their time at the lab with their mentor and apply their classroom knowledge to real-life work, and to spend 20 percent of their time in enrichment activities like workshops or skill-building activities.
