INTERNSHIP/VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

  • Below is a list of possible internship/volunteer opportunities for Solano college students. While we try to keep the list updated please be aware that companies listed here may no longer be accepting interns, individuals listed as contacts may have moved on, or companies may already have their quota of interns for the semester. If you don't see one you like read Creating Your Own Internship.
     

  • It is recommended that prior to contacting companies on this site you have completed at least one semester in your major field (some will require this), have a letter of recommendation from one of your core instructors, and have a simple resume. Be professional and courteous.
     

  • In an unpaid internship or volunteer position there is never the implication that a paid job will result with the company!
     

  • This page will be undergoing continuing revisions and updates so please check back often.

Preplanning for WW internships is critical. Often the plant must order a certificate to have on file before you can work. This can take 6 to 8 weeks. Best to arrange the internship in the semester BEFORE you wish to work. You are not limited to the listed plants. Note: Doing an internship at any plant is not a guarantee of being interviewed or hired by that plant!
