Internship Program

Here in our offices in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we are constantly learning from each other. We run reactions, analyze data, build facilities, and lower our carbon footprint, all as we discover and produce new materials that make batteries better. And we do it as a team. Each year, we host a new group of interns from a variety of local, regional, and national universities. We love the idea that there is a pipeline in place—a stream with many tributaries. Students come together from near and far for an engaging work experience in our Tulsa facilities, and some flow through to join our team.
