East Coast Energy Internship

the east coast energy internship program is a 20 day long paid internship, funded by the ogden trust, for year one college and sixth form students. this year 30 interns are working with local businesses in the energy and engineering supply chain to produce projects benefitting the company whilst giving the students a chance to use their classroom stem skills in a real work environment. the internship strongly focuses on providing an “experience of work” rather than the generic “work experience.” this year the ogden trust is working alongside nexus, vattenfall, eeegr and uk power networks. nexus trains the next generation of engineers and the current workforce across the sector. with their purpose-built engineering training centre they aim to raise the profile and understanding of the huge variety of opportunities in the engineering industry. vattenfall has invested over £3 billion in uk wind power since 2008 and, as of early 2018, they operate more than 1gw of installed capacity wi
