Job Description

When you join Verizon

You want more out of a career. A place to share your ideas freely — even if they’re daring or different. Where the true you can learn, grow, and thrive. At Verizon, we power and empower how people live, work and play by connecting them to what brings them joy. We do what we love — driving innovation, creativity, and impact in the world. Our V Team is a community of people who anticipate, lead, and believe that listening is where learning begins. In crisis and in celebration, we come together — lifting our communities and building trust in how we show up, everywhere & always. Want in? Join the V Team Life.

What you’ll be doing…

From internships and co-ops to leadership development programs and entry-level roles, Verizon’s award-winning Campus program allows you to take the next step toward shaping your future. Our Campus program has been recognized with awards like WayUp’s Top 100 Internship Programs and RippleMatch’s Campus Forward Award. Why the accolades? It’s easy. We quickly immerse our interns in meaningful work and projects that deliver tangible business impact. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to network with V Teamers across the globe, find mentors, and establish meaningful friendships that could last a lifetime. Start here and go anywhere, with opportunities across the business. When students like you join the V Team, our network becomes even stronger.

Verizon’s Public Sector organization is here to connect people, places and things when those connections matter the most. We provide services that help to deliver critical solutions to state and local governments as well as educational institutions to enhance services for local communities and give students and their instructors the tools for richer learning.

This Public Sector internship, which is part of the overall Verizon Campus Program, will give you a chance to channel your drive and enthusiasm and learn the practical application of your degree concepts. You will be front and center, hands-on and contributing your creative energy to high-impact projects from the moment you arrive. You will put your degree to use and gain experience in the field through on the job training.
