ORANGE, Conn., June 09, 2025 — Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, this week launched its 2025 Summer Internship Program. This year, the company welcomes 71 interns from over 50 universities across the United States and abroad, including participants from Spain and Mexico. Interns will be based at Avangrid offices located in New York, Maine, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Oregon, and will 20 different departments including IT, Communications, and Networks.

“At Avangrid, attracting and nurturing emerging talent is one of our key priorities,” said Avangrid CEO Pedro Azagra. “Our internship program is designed to help students strengthen their skills and gain real-world experience before entering the workforce. Through workshops, speaker sessions, and peer networking events like Cohort Connects, we aim to equip them with the tools they need for a successful, differentiated and fulfilling career.”

Kicking off on June 2, the Internship Experience will demonstrate Avangrid’s dedication to career growth by teaching skills such as analytical thinking, project coordination, and professional resilience. New interns will participate in sessions focused on practical, job-ready skills, while returning interns will deepen their learning through speaker sessions with senior leaders who bring those skills to life.

“Offering this unique internship experience to students across the nation is essential,” said Ignacio Estella, Senior Vice President for Talent & Performance, Innovation and Equal Opportunity. “Our goal is to ‘electrify’ talent with solid career opportunities in the transformational energy sector with a local and global leader, and to showcase the differentiated career paths that Avangrid can offer to the next generation of professionals.”

The Internship Experience follows a 70/20/10 learning model designed to maximize growth: 70% of learning happens through hands-on, business-critical projects; 20% through relationship-building with mentors, peers, and leaders; and 10% through formal training, such as workshops and speaker sessions. Interns conclude the program by presenting a five-minute pitch showcasing their achievements—an opportunity that often leads to full-time roles or entry into Avangrid’s Rotational Graduate Program.

“Being part of this program has already been an incredible opportunity,” said June Monasterios, a rising senior at Gannon University and an intern in the Internal Audit team. “Even in just the first week, I’ve felt both welcomed and inspired. I’m beginning to understand not only the energy industry, but also how to grow as a professional. It’s exciting to be part of a company that truly values sustainability, innovation, and its people.”
