Inside Our Summer Intern Program

September 12, 2024 • 1 minute read

This summer, we welcomed 15 interns into 14 of our offices nationwide. Immersed in our culture of active collaboration, they tackled real-world projects, gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge tools, state-of-the-art software, and proprietary geographic information systems (GIS). This practical exposure broadened their understanding of data-driven problem-solving and equipped them with the expertise they need for their future careers.

At our company, we’re passionate about transportation and seek like-minded individuals who share our desire to improve the ways people experience transportation across communities. Our internship program is designed to put passion into action from day one. Interns don’t fetch coffee—they dive into impactful projects, collaborating closely with experts in the field.

Here’s a glimpse of the types of projects our interns worked on:

Active Transportation: Enhancing pedestrian and cycling infrastructure.
VMT Impacts: Analyzing Vehicle Miles Traveled to reduce environmental footprints.
Equity in Transportation: Ensuring fair and accessible transportation for all communities.

Collaborative Learning Beyond Our Walls

In addition to our in-house program, this year Fehr & Peers participated in the Environmental, Engineering, and Planning Internship and Charrette (EEPIC) program. EEPIC provides students from underrepresented communities the chance to participate in a two-week charrette focused on an actual project proposed by a local agency. In collaboration with Ascent, Dudek, Environmental Science Associates, PlaceWorks, and Rincon Consultants, Inc., we created opportunities for two of our interns, alongside their interns, to dive into policy, sustainability, design, collaboration, equity, and engagement, shaping the future of Elk Grove, California.
