Internship Program
The Port of Oakland’s internship program provides training grounds for interns of all levels. These interns are exposed to career areas such as, Engineering, Communications, Social Responsibility, Maritime, Human Resources, Commercial Real Estate and Aviation. Students not only gain important work experience, but also develop work habits and improve communication skills. With the collaboration of local schools and training programs, ERDP has been able to provide interns with job experience here at the Port. Some of the programs working with ERDP include: Oakland Unified School District’s School to Career Program, Youth Employment Partnership, UC Berkeley’s International Diploma Program and Alameda County’s Vocational Program. ERDP manages and facilitates the placement of volunteer interns. The Port provides internships for local students and international college students. Each summer, the Port hires high school and college students from Oakland to work in various divisions and departments within the Port.
