Want to turn your passion for innovation, energy, and entrepreneurship into real-world experience?
ARL to Scale Internships
Students have the opportunity to work directly with cutting-edge startups and industry leaders to help accelerate the future of energy.
Joules Accelerator works with undergraduate and graduate students to build a pipeline of talent from universities into the grid innovation workforce — because today's students are tomorrow's founders, engineers, and researchers.
Our internship program is one of the concrete ways we deliver on a more resilient future grid. Interns gain real-world experience inside startups, contribute directly to our research and strategy, and help deliver our Adoption Readiness Level to Scale program.
Our interns join from across the state and country, collaborating with one another and with Joules' network to support startups and understand the grid innovation field from the inside.
