Very few organizations work on projects of the size and scope that Boeing does. You'll work with real employees and managers, on real projects that have measurable effects on our company and on the world of aerospace.*

Boeing Internship & Company Overview

Two of the best ways to gain real experience working at Boeing are through internships and co-ops. Each offers a seasonal position while you finish your studies, and most internships and co-ops offer the opportunity to receive school credit, depending on your school's policy.

Internships are short-term opportunities, usually one semester or season in length. Co-ops typically require a longer time commitment for more than one industry period, usually during the fall or spring semester. For example, you might work in the fall (September to December) and return later for a spring, a summer or another fall co-op. Some schools also offer programs allowing students to take a semester off to pursue a co-op.*

Examples of internships include: Electrical engineers, Industrial engineers, Mechanical engineers, Computer engineers, Information systems analysts, Technical designers, Systems analysts, Systems programmers, Database administrators, Procurement analysts, Network designers, Budget analysts, Market analysts, Business systems analysts.

Boeing internships are offered in the following locations: Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, D.C. (Metro), Washington.

Pros:

I had a summer internship in Boeing's Commercial Aviation Services Marketing Group. While I was there, I worked on various projects including: Info Snacks project for the Commercial Aviation Services sales team, brochure design, and other marketing collateral. The best part of the internship was working across teams - I worked hand in hand with the branding/positioning team and the creative/graphic design team. Boeing is also a well known company and employees had pride in where they worked.

Cons:

Boeing is huge, so you can feel a little bureaucracy at times.

Advice for other students:

Maintain a high GPA.
