About the role
IMPACT and OPPORTUNITY
Our Summer Internship Program is a supervised program designed to enhance professional development by providing the chance to “test drive” Gentherm and step into our organization to learn about our culture and career possibilities for your future. Our Summer program formally runs from May 17, 2027 through August 6, 2027.
The interns will follow a cohort-style program with 15 other students, as they navigate learning Gentherm, our Mission, Values, and our Business Goals. The cohort will have the opportunity to interact and learn from Executive Leaders across the organizations through monthly learning sessions, as well as participate in both community and company events.
Students complete a predetermined project related to department goals and the student’s area of study. The program is designed to be an experiential learning that integrates knowledge learned in the classroom and practical application in a professional setting.
