Explore the transformative power of clean energy internships! Our new blog post highlights the contributions of interns at Green Century Capital Management. #CleanEnergyCareers #InternSuccess 

Today is #NationalInternDay & in honor of that, we wanted to shout our three amazing summer interns: Juliette Michaels, Trek Salzer & Haydn Sage! We asked them what being an intern at Nautilus Solar means to them & what their future #career goals are. Let's hear from them: Juliette: "I’m so grateful to be spending my summer as a small part of a great team that has gone out of their way to make me feel included and supported. I’m constantly inspired by the people around me, and their commitment to making a measurable difference in the world. I’m very interested in the intersectionality of community solar as an industry; driving growth in #sustainability and financial accessibility efforts. I know that supporting a mission I believe in is a priority for me as I move forward in my career." Trek: "As an intern at Nautilus, I get to be part of an *energetic* (pun intended) group of people working hard to make #solar energy accessible for people across the country. Going forward, I am looking to build a career in the renewable energy industry and I want to contribute to the continued global energy transition." Haydn: "Being an intern at Nautilus this summer has allowed me to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of renewable energy. I am learning something new every day through the knowledge team and this experience has only deepened my passion for sustainability and renewable energy. After graduation I plan to pursue law school and I am particularly interested in environmental and patent law." Thanks, interns, for all your hard work and dedication.

That's a wrap for this summer's Intern/E&P Connection Mixer events! We are prepping to bring back out Topic Series Events!! Here are a few key takeaways from this summer: - Bright Future: We met many bright young students ready to take on challenges, tackle fieldwork, solve problems, and wear many hats as they enter the workforce. - Company Presence: Companies should reevaluate their presence at schools. Focus on what's impactful, build relationships with schools and students, and provide more opportunities for industry exposure. - University Visits: Don't just settle for an hour-long company advertisement. Offer more substance and discussions that highlight the industry and various career paths. - Connecting with Interns: Our industry needs to improve efforts in connecting with the next generation and making them feel welcome. Even interns can feel isolated, and we need to address that. - Dinner Discussions: The dinners in Houston and OKC were the highlights. Extending our events to include dinner with interns allowed us to share invaluable stories, insights, and takeaways. We look forward to continuing to build the bridge between current professionals and the next generation! #futureofenergy #nextgeneration #petroleumengineers #oilgas #oilandgasindustry

This summer, Benjamin Valet joined the Westwood #energytransition team on a nine week internship in our London office. Read a bit about Benjamin's time with us and what the internship included below. Find out more about Westwood's #internship programme here: https://lnkd.in/ehdJZ5sd   ◼ What stood out about Westwood and made you want to apply for this internship? What caught my attention about Westwood was its reputation as a leading energy market intelligence and research firm within the energy sector. Their specialisation in the energy transition, particularly in the area of hydrogen, aligned perfectly with my career interests and academic background. The opportunity to work with experts in the field and contribute to the product development of an impactful and project in the realm of hydrogen motivated me to apply for this internship.   ◼ What were your core roles and responsibilities? My main responsibilities included gaining a comprehensive understanding of the hydrogen policy and regulatory landscape in Germany, in order to familiarise myself with established targets, funding schemes, and mechanisms. I collected and compiled data from hydrogen project proposals, creating a comprehensive database of hydrogen projects across Germany. I contributed to the development of a criteria assessment model designed to evaluate project viability. This model considered factors such as involved stakeholders, funding stages, and technology choices.   ◼ What has been a standout moment of your internship or what did you enjoy working on the most? One standout moment for me was the collaborative involvement in developing the criteria assessment model. Witnessing the tool in action, aiding the team in evaluating and making informed decisions about hydrogen projects, was incredibly rewarding. Additionally, I found great satisfaction in the process of compiling the database and extracting insights from it. Engaging with the database and the conceptual model provided me with the opportunity to apply my skills and make a meaningful contribution to the team's objectives.   ◼ How has your time been overall while at Westwood and what will you take away from the experience? My time at Westwood has been incredibly enriching and fulfilling. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with experts in the energy sector, deepen my understanding of hydrogen's role in the energy transition, and develop practical skills in data analysis, project evaluation, and report creation. Exposure to real-world projects and the dynamic energy landscape has proven invaluable. I will take away not only the technical skills I've acquired but also the ability to work effectively in a team and contribute meaningfully to projects with real-world implications. This internship has solidified my passion for the energy transition and provided me with a strong foundation for my future career endeavors.

I have started my internship It’s been started since August 2023 at #Energy_center of #Politecnic_university of Torino , Italia under the supervision of professor Papurello and professor Barla. The main topic of my internship is about a specific criteria in an #energy_wall_system which is one of the most efficient #renewable_energy sources. I’ve found this field of study really interesting particularly in case of combination between #renewable_energy , #circular_economy and #sustainabilty in #green_building , besides I’ve working on my thesis in the same topic as well .
