Summer Internship Program

The Port of Los Angeles will accept resumes for its Annual Summer Internship Program during March 1-15, 2019. Applications received any other time will not be considered.



The Port’s Summer Internship Program provides a unique opportunity for experiential learning, networking, and personal development for undergraduate and graduate students. Placement assignments are made based on a combination of factors, including the needs of the participating divisions, the intern’s skill set and availability in the expressed area of interest.



Interns may work 20 hours per week and should be available Monday-Friday; 8 a.m.-5 p.m., for a continuous 10-week period in the summer (as early as May to as late as September). Community college students or university freshmen, sophomores or juniors will be paid $15.23 per hour. University seniors or graduate students will be paid $16.77 per hour. Seniors must submit a letter from their school attesting to their senior status.



From March 1-15, 2019, applicants should submit the Summer Internship Application Form, a resume and a copy of an official college transcript to [email protected]. Incomplete submissions or applications received any other time will not be considered.
