I Will Ride – Student Jobs
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.

奖学金计划
The Authority has worked with several organizations to host fellows for their service term at the Authority. Such programs include the nationally recognized 萨克拉门托州首府研究员计划 和 CivicSpark AmeriCorps program.
学校实习合作伙伴
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.

We’re proud our department has worked with the following education programs to give students experience working on the California high-speed rail either through student jobs or classroom projects.
实习生和研究员的声音
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.
我想参与这个项目,因为我相信加州高铁是应对气候变化和促进更大的社会和经济流动性的一个组成部分。对我个人对这个项目的热情同样重要的是我在奖学金期间遇到的所有令人惊叹的、有才华的和善良的人。我的导师真的很关心我,并努力让我的经历变得有意义。通过我的奖学金,我学到了很多实用的专业发展技能和有关政府的知识,并为有机会感到非常幸运。
我与加州高铁管理局的奖学金使我能够建立联系并积累经验,从而开启了我在可持续发展和气候变化方面的职业生涯。
