Internship Details
Title of Internship: Communications & Public RelationsInternship Description:
What You’ll Really Be Doing
We’re looking for bold, curious, creative interns who want to roll up their sleeves and do the work — from podcasting to internal storytelling to social media content that actually grabs attention. You’ll work side-by-side with award-winning professionals and leave with real-world experience, new skills, and portfolio-worthy work.
You’ll Learn How To:
• Lead your own projects (yes, YOU!)
• Write with purpose and power
• Plan content that pops
• Speak in a brand voice — and know when to shake it up
• Communicate clearly in a complex industry (like… explaining why EVs are cool without sounding like a textbook)

Available Internships
Podcast Producer & Editor
Love podcasts? Want to learn how to create them from scratch? You’ll help shape a new series from concept to final cut — booking guests, writing questions, editing audio, and producing episodes that people actually want to listen to.
Internal Communications
Our employees are rockstars — and we want you to help tell their stories! You’ll write features for our printed magazine, create digital content for internal platforms, and craft messages that motivate and inspire.
External Communications
Translate the amazing work REC does into messages that inform and connect with the public. You’ll write for our website, emails, bill inserts, and more. If you love turning “meh” into “wow,” this one’s for you.
Social Media & Digital Content Creator
Can you scroll AND strategize? We’re looking for someone who can craft thumb-stopping reels, capture behind-the-scenes magic, and create content that sparks real engagement across social media.
