The Technology Commercialization Internship Program (TCIP) is a unique paid opportunity for undergraduate STEM and business students to experience the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) world-class National Lab system, boost their entrepreneurial thinking, and explore energy technology markets.
Interns have the opportunity to engage with National Laboratory mentors and learn about technologies at their partnered Laboratories. This internship focuses on the business side of technology commercialization where interns will learn skills such as customer discovery, value propositions development, and market sizing. Interns apply these skills to their assigned technologies at their host lab.
