Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) has been named one of Yello and WayUp's Top 100 Internship Programs of 2026, marking the third consecutive year the company has earned national recognition for its internship and co-op experience.

The annual recognition, announced in connection with National Intern Day, highlights MPC's commitment to providing internship and co-op experiences that help students build skills, stay engaged and explore pathways to successful full-time careers.

“At MPC, we believe the future of energy starts with the people we invest in today. Through hands-on projects and mentorship, our interns and co-ops develop valuable skills, build professional connections and see how their contributions are part of something bigger. Their fresh perspectives strengthen our organization and help us meet the evolving energy needs of tomorrow,” said Salina Cinco, Talent Acquisition Director. “Being recognized as a Top 100 Internship Program for a third consecutive year is an honor and a reflection of our continued commitment to creating meaningful early-career opportunities.”

Since its launch by Yello and WayUp, the yearly Top 100 Internship Programs list has recognized standout internship programs based on factors including compensation, program structure, career development opportunities and company culture. MPC first earned a spot on the list in 2024 and has remained on the list through 2026, reflecting strong intern and co-op return rates and positive career outcomes across the company’s early talent pipeline.

For more than 50 years, MPC has been committed to developing early career talent supported by the company’s Campus and Emerging Talent program. Each semester, MPC's Campus and Emerging Talent team visits colleges and universities across the country to recruit students for opportunities that support business needs and help build the company’s future workforce.
