The project proposal application period for 2020 summer internships is now closed. Check back in the Fall for details about applying to join our 2021 program.

Find out more about the HPCC Systems Summer Intern Program including how to apply and read this blog introducing the students and their projects.

10 students joined our intern program in 2019. Our students presented about their projects at our tech talk webcasts during the year and some were able to enter our 2019 Poster Contest held at our HPCC Systems Community Day Summit held in Atlanta, October 2019.
