Here’s What One of Our Recent Co-op Students Had to Say:

During my time at Eversource, I was not only able to learn but also to contribute through working on different projects. I was always able to share my thoughts and opinions. It is a great working environment with great people who are always willing to help you learn and achieve more.

  • Social opportunities at gatherings and training activities that provide networking opportunities to meet other students
  • Opportunities to network with full-time employees, senior management and seasoned professionals in your field of study
  • Most positions are paid, some are for credit only

As an intern or co-op at Eversource, you will receive challenging, meaningful work that will allow you to apply your academic coursework to the real work environment.

Program Requirements:

  • Academic major must relate to applicable co-op or internship
  • Leadership and problem-solving skills
  • Involvement in extracurricular activities is preferred
  • Work availability of at least 10 to 12 weeks for internships and six months for co-ops
  • Legally eligible to work in the United States
  • Must be actively enrolled in a degree program

During my time at Eversource, I’ve learned a lot of what it takes to work in a utility company. I have met great people and worked on projects with top engineers who’ve reshaped the way I think about the industry in a positive way.

During my time at Eversource, I was not only able to learn but also to contribute through working on different projects on a statewide and internal management level. I was always able to share my thoughts and opinions. It is a great working environment with great people who are always willing to help you learn and achieve more.

I completed three co-op terms at Eversource, gaining experience and exposure to all facets of natural gas operations. This experience translated into a full-time opportunity upon graduation and I have assumed the role of a Project Engineer in Gas Engineering ever since. Both Eversource and the gas industry are experiencing rapid growth, providing unbelievable opportunities for incoming employees.
