"I have had the opportunity to set up meetings and talk with people in all different departments and overseas. I didn't expect to meet with people outside of my area let alone coordinate and lead the meetings. My co-worker and I have definitely been given an amazing and unique opportunity."

“My most recent project has been very enjoyable because it has been so challenging. It is fun to be able to work on the cutting edge of the field, at a problem that impedes a lot of researchers, both in academia and industry.”

“I have enjoyed seeing all the pieces of my summer project come together. It will be even more enjoyable when the document shows up on the internet and is available to the public, because I'll look at it and be able to say I helped create it.”

There is no better way to learn than by doing. Covance’s internship program gives students the opportunity to learn in a challenging and supportive work environment.
Our internships are focused on:

Providing real industry work experience

Interns work on projects related to their majors that are both challenging to the intern and valuable to the organization
Each intern has a designated trainer/mentor – typically their supervisor – who is committed to training and developing the intern over the course of the internship

Developing strong presentation skills

Requiring interns to deliver presentations at the conclusion of their internships allows them to demonstrate their achievements and gain confidence in presentation skills
Interns deliver their presentations to their supervisors and senior management

Participating in a volunteer project or activity

Devoting time to non-profit and volunteer organizations that Covance supports, helps interns understand the importance of working to better the communities in which they will live and work
Each intern dedicates eight work-day hours toward this requirement
A list is provided to the intern of all opportunities available for that term
