EchoStar offers a summer program that allows interns to experience several areas of EchoStar, while providing intense training opportunities and various social activities.

 

Our program allows for you to interact with students from all across the country as you experience EchoStar and Colorado. There are several planned trips throughout the summer which will expose you to different divisions in the company. You will have the opportunity to visit the Uplink Center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, to see where we broadcast programming to our satellites. We also hike up one of Colorado’s 14er mountains; Charlie Ergen and other EchoStar executives traditionally participate as well. While optional, most of the interns wait all summer for this breathtaking experience.

 

The summer program is twelve weeks long and some interns will be assigned to a specific value-based project, while others work on a daily assignments with our professionals. To help you with this project, some interns will have the opportunity to work with their own mentor as well as a manager. The program is also designed to gain experience working with upper-level management and executives.

 

Our goal, as a company, is to look for interns who are ready to make an impact during their summer internship. We view this program as an extended interview process and are focused on transitioning strong interns into full-time employees after graduation. Please talk to your Career Center to find out when we will be coming to your school.
