What is an Elemental Internship?

Elemental’s summer internship program offers paid work opportunities for college students and recent graduates interested in climate tech. This is a 10-week, full-time (40 hours per week) internship with one of the mission-driven startups in Elemental’s portfolio. During these 10 weeks, interns will become fully immersed in the teams, work, and culture of the host company. 

 

A summer internship with an Elemental company is much more than a paying job and an opportunity to gain valuable work experience. It’s about finding joy in your work, and facing barriers, and overcoming frustrations to unlock personal growth. Elemental will provide 2-3 hours a week of networking opportunities tailored to the startup environment for climate tech. 

 

 

This internship was a great learning experience at the intersection between startups, accelerators, and the environment.
