Internship Program

Information for ILP Member Companies

The University of California, Berkeley EECS Internship Program places top Berkeley EE and CS majors in competitive and challenging summer assignments in industry. The program was established in 1989 with the goal of professionally developing our students prior to graduation. Our mission is to serve both the students of the Berkeley EECS department as well as the high tech companies that participate in the Industrial Liaison Program (ILP). If your company seeks a closer relationship with the talent of Cal EECS majors, read on!

The EECS Internship Program builds upon existing relations with members of the Berkeley EECS ILP. It is a joint effort between the EECS Center for Student Affairs and the Industrial Relations Office (IRO).

ILP Member companies get the following benefits :

1) Directcontact to Berkeley EE and CS majors.

2) Widespread publicity: The program is coordinated through the EECS Center for Undergraduate Matters – located at the heart of the Berkeley EECS community. Center staff provide publicity at the department level, utilizing banners, flyers, webpages, email and informational workshops to inform and prepare students to apply for the program. Unlike recruitment at the campus level, intern events are held in Soda and Cory Halls, where CS and Engineering students are taking classes, working in the lab, and socializing. Each year hundreds of students attended the EECS Internship Open House.

The Open House is a career-fair style event showcasing the internship companies’ summer opportunities. Past interns joined hiring managers and human resources staff to inform prospective interns about employment options. The Internship program received over 175 applications total in 2004, with companies receiving on average 100 applications each.

3) Assistance with information sessions and possible student interviews on campus.

4) Feedback from interns highlighting their experiences.

5) Resume cd, etc.
