I Will Ride – Student Jobs

Banner that reads

There are a variety of opportunities for students to gain experience working on the California high-speed rail project. We value students and know they are essential in building the nation’s first high-speed rail system. Below are descriptions of the different student job opportunities on the project.

Student Assistant Positions (State of California)

Student Assistant positions are jobs offered through the State of California for students to gain part-time experience with a state agency. Students can work in several units within a state agency including engineering, human resources, finance, accounting, IT, and strategic communications.

The California High-Speed Rail Authority (Authority) occasionally has Student Assistant jobs available. Any Student Assistant job with the Authority will be posted on CalCareers.gov.

獎學金計劃

The Authority has worked with several organizations to host fellows for their service term at the Authority. Such programs include the nationally recognized 薩克拉門托州首府研究員計劃CivicSpark AmeriCorps program.

學校實習合作夥伴

Schools throughout California house internship programs for students to gain real life job experience. These internship programs partner with agencies and ask the agencies to host interns for a short season. The Authority has worked with programs like the University of California, Berkeley’s Cal-in-Sacramento program to host summer interns.

If you are a program administrator looking to explore a partnership with the Authority, contact us at iwillride@hsr.ca.gov.

Student Internships with Private Contractors

There are many private companies that work on the California High-Speed Rail Program as contractors. These private companies offer their own internships, fellowships, and entry level job opportunities that allow students to work on the California high-speed rail. You can find these companies by regularly checking what companies have been awarded contracts or ongoing procurements and bids at our Architectural & Engineering and Capital Procurements webpage.

If your company has a student opportunity related to the California High-Speed Rail Project that you would like to share in the next I Will Ride update, such as an internship, entry-level job, or scholarship, please send information about the opportunity to iwillride@hsr.ca.gov.

實習生和研究員的聲音

I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to complete a fellowship at the High-Speed Rail Authority summer of 2024. As a senior at UC Berkeley studying Society and Environment with a minor in Public Policy, I was incredibly interested in environmental policy and HSR was the perfect place to learn and contribute to my professional development. The environment and people at HSR were so supportive and encouraging to work on what I was most passionate about, and I am so grateful for my experience!

My placement at the California High-Speed Rail Authority gave me immediate insight into what makes the state of California an exceptional place. I was surrounded by colleagues who are mission driven and passionate about delivering a transformative project to all Californians. The environment at the Authority was supportive and everyone pitched in to get the job done. I feel grateful to have been a part of this team and to contribute to the nation’s first high-speed rail.

My service year within the High-Speed Rail Authority allowed me to do meaningful work in a subject area I care about. After working on a project with the size and complexity of High-Speed Rail, the mentorship and experience I’ve gained will continue to shape my career path long into the future.

As a fellow on this project, I was surrounded by people who really cared about my professional growth. My mentors met with me regularly and provided me all the resources and training to be successful. I truly believe in this project and sometimes I can’t believe I get to be a part of bringing high-speed rail to California.

Serving as an Executive Fellow with the California High-Speed Rail Authority was an amazing experience. I learned a tremendous amount from my mentors and colleagues, and I feel honored to have had the opportunity to contribute to this transformative project. Working at the Authority affirmed my desire to pursue a career in urban planning so that I can continue to work on meaningful projects like high-speed rail in California.

我想參與這個項目,因為我相信加州高鐵是應對氣候變化和促進更大的社會和經濟流動性的一個組成部分。對我個人對這個項目的熱情同樣重要的是我在獎學金期間遇到的所有令人驚嘆的、有才華的和善良的人。我的導師真的很關心我,並努力讓我的經歷變得有意義。通過我的獎學金,我學到了很多實用的專業發展技能和有關政府的知識,並為有機會感到非常幸運。
