College Relations

We understand today's graduates are engaged, technically adept, have a global perspective, and bring an unprecedented level of energy to the workplace. Each year we visit high-ranking colleges and universities to recruit new team members who have an intellectual curiosity and the passion to make an impact at Dewberry. We're looking for Dewberry's future—our internship and entry-level career programs are integral to our business strategy and critical to our company's growth.

Gaining On-the-Job Experience: Internships

Dewberry offers a robust internship program that allows students the opportunity to put their education to work and see how it translates into real-life situations. As a Dewberry intern, you are an important asset to our team and treated like other employees. You will take on meaningful work assignments working side-by-side with senior technical leadership. The program also includes opportunities to network with various levels of employees and participate in professional development activities. Many of our interns attend client meetings and see the different phases of a project first-hand. Typically, our internships last three months, but we do offer six-month co-op positions in select locations.

While internships have a firm start and stop date, your relationship with us will continue. Many of our interns return for multiple terms, and we frequently convert top performing interns to full-time employees after graduation. You are Dewberry's future.

Starting Your Career: Entry-Level Positions

You did it! You just graduated with a top-notch degree, and now you're ready to put your experience to work. You have the knowledge and skills to make an impact. Upon joining our firm, you'll hit the ground running. As a valued member of Dewberry, we will rely on you to be intellectually honest, think critically, and interact with clients. We'll challenge you to challenge us.

Our "Graduate Engineers" and "Architect Interns" at Dewberry receive training and mentorship by our senior staff to further enhance their skills. We accomplish this by placing you on challenging and diverse projects, offering formal training programs, and conducting annual performance evaluations.

We also encourage employees to enhance their career both inside and outside of the workplace, through advanced degrees, educational seminars, professional societies, and professional licensure. It's our goal to give you the tools and resources to advance your profession.

We have developed long-term partnership with several colleges and universities. Here are a few examples of our commitment to working with academic institutions.
