BART Internship Programs

Welcome to BART’s Internship Program

Welcome to BART—where your internship is more than a summer experience. It’s an opportunity to work alongside professionals, contribute to meaningful projects, build your skills, and explore where your career could take you.

BART offers three paid internship pathways, each designed to provide hands-on experience while introducing interns to the people, projects, and careers that keep the Bay Area moving.

ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP — Build the Future 

Designed primarily for engineering students approaching their final year of college, this eight-week summer internship provides an opportunity to put classroom knowledge into action while working alongside BART professionals on real-world engineering projects.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP — Explore Your Possibilities

This six-week summer experience is open to participants age 16 and older who are current high school or college students—or who have been enrolled in school within the past 12 months. It’s an opportunity to gain workplace experience, discover career paths, and begin building a professional network.

INNOVATION INTERNSHIP — Bring Ideas to Life

Designed for participants ages 18–25, the Innovation Internship varies by project and provides an opportunity to contribute to projects while gaining practical professional experience in a dynamic work environment.

One BART Experience. Three Ways to Get Started.

Whichever internship brings you to BART, you’ll have access to experiences designed to help you grow—including an assigned mentor, meaningful projects, professional development opportunities, facility tours, networking, and free BART rides during your internship.

Come ready to ask questions, meet people, try something new, and take ownership of your experience. You don’t have to know exactly where your career is headed yet. That’s part of why you’re here.

Your internship is the starting point. Your skills are the foundation. Your future is the destination.

Next Stop — YOUR FUTURE!
