Position Summary

The CPS Energy Internship Program is designed to meet the industry’s rapidly changing workforce needs by providing local San Antonio college students with public utility career experience. Through the internship program students are paired with a mentor to acquire meaningful hands-on experience that expands their understanding of how the industry works and exposes them to essential skills they must acquire or develop to be successful. The internship is not only meant for the intern to learn how to perform, but to also understand the rationale behind the strategies that are being used.

As a Financial Services Intern in the Strategic Analysis & Implementation Department, you’ll support the team in evaluating new business opportunities such as acquisitions, prepaid purchase deals, and grants. You’ll gain hands-on experience by helping build and update financial models, and you’ll learn how to assess the financial impact of strategic decisions.
