Internships and Co-ops

 

For more than 50 years, Marathon Petroleum (MPC) has helped students turn classroom learning into real-world experience through hands-on internships and co-ops built on mentorship, collaboration and purpose-driven work.  As an intern or co-op, you’ll be part of a workplace where diverse perspectives and new ideas are valued. You’ll work alongside experienced professionals and skilled tradespeople while gaining exposure to the projects and decisions shaping one of the nation’s leading energy companies.

Whether you’re exploring a career path, building new skills or putting what you’ve learned into practice, you’ll have opportunities to contribute immediately and build a strong foundation for what comes next.
