85 Students Get Hands-On Experience During Summer Internship Program
This summer, Benesch is proud to have had 85 students join our 2023 internship program. For the past few months, our offices have welcomed students from schools across the country as they take part in a nine-week summer program aimed at facilitating personal and professional growth.
Interns were integrated into the company—working on projects, interfacing with leadership and learning valuable skills. Over the course of the summer, they had the opportunity to get hands-on work experience both in the office and out in the field.

Interns were integrated into the company—working on projects, interfacing with leadership and learning valuable skills. Over the course of the summer, they had the opportunity to get hands-on work experience both in the office and out in the field.
In Lincoln, Nebraska, Kiley Pham, a civil engineering student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has been working with our aviation team both in the office and out on site.
“This summer, I’ve been able to work with the team in our Lincoln office and visit our project site in Kearney, Nebraska,” said Kiley. “Getting to see designs come to life on site has been one of the best parts of my internship.”
On the other side of the country, Elena Zandier, a civil engineering student at Youngstown State University, has had the opportunity to explore several different disciplines – structural/bridge design, roadway design and bridge inspection – while working in Benesch’s Pittsburgh office.
“I am still undecided on the path I want to take with civil engineering and the exposure I had this summer working with Benesch has helped me immensely to begin forming an idea of the discipline I would like to pursue,” said Elena. “Hearing from a variety of professionals within the company and seeing what kind of work they do has been incredibly valuable.”
The program will conclude next week with the interns presenting their final action learning projects to the Benesch leadership team. Following the successful completion of their internship, students are encouraged to apply for Benesch’s Student Intern Scholarship. Winners will be announced in the coming weeks.
