INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Learn Construction by Working on Real Projects
From plans to progress
The Kent Summer Internship Program is designed for students who want to understand how construction decisions move from the office to the jobsite. Over approximately 8 to 12 weeks, interns work alongside experienced professionals, visit active projects, and contribute to real work.
The program is based primarily through Kent’s Covington and Lafayette offices, with project exposure across Louisiana. Applicants should be pursuing construction management, engineering, architecture, or another field connected to building and design.
