Eligible applicants to the Cal Energy Corps are highly motivated and talented UC Berkeley undergraduate students in good academic standing, from a wide range of disciplines and majors. They tend to have a passion and curiosity for addressing energy and climate issues by conducting hands-on research in areas such as renewable energy, carbon policy, buildings efficiency, and sustainable design.
Student interns will be selected on a rolling basis. Interested students submit applications online which includes a 3-page Statement of Purpose, academic transcript, a Letter of Recommendation from a UC Berkeley faculty member or approved supervisor, resume, as well as indicates placement preference(s).
An interdisciplinary selection committee reviews all eligible applications to identify top student candidates on the basis of merit and matches each internship opportunity with qualified applicants. We then provide candidate materials to host organizations for consideration and to confirm for us whether they would like to proceed with interviewing the student(s). Upon receiving confirmed approval to proceed, Cal Energy Corps will notify students of selection into the program and connect them with the host organization for scheduling interviews. Hosts are under no obligation to proceed with hiring candidates subsequent to the interview if not deemed the right fit. We then continue to provide you with other qualified candidates as may be available until one is successfully selected for hire.
