“There are so many strong takeaways I have that will help me in both my academic and professional career… I truly had a fantastic summer here and I can’t wait for our paths to cross again.”

在夏季工作的最后一天,将建筑物留下来,权力计费实习生罗斯·哈内特(Rose Harnett)不禁为她在NRG度过的时间分享了一些感激之情。今年夏天,NRG MBA和集中式暑期实习计划的Rose和大约30个实习生努力工作,为他们的职业生涯的下一步做准备。

Internship programs atNRGare designed for graduate and undergraduate students with a genuine interest in the energy industry, business, and/or sustainability. The goal for our internships is to provide organization-wide exposure to the business and a clear understanding for how we operate in the marketplace. They provide an opportunity for students to develop individual skillsets, learn from purposeful mentorships, and network throughout the company with hands-on projects.

今年的计划于6月开始,在休斯敦总部举行了两天的面对面,团队建设和领导力演讲。从那里开始,实习生享受了休斯顿,匹兹堡或普林斯顿办事处的混合工作环境。

Aside from various in-office activities, our 2022 class had the chance to tour a local power plant and pack lunches for school-age children during a volunteer opportunity withKids’ Meals。当然,这些经历只是今年小组的冰山一角。

这是我们实习生对他们与NRG的夏天所说的话的仔细研究。

What interested you about being an NRG intern?

I was interested in working in the energy industry, so I sought out several energy companies at our recruiting event. NRG stood out to me because their recruiters seemed interested in being there, and they were enthusiastic about the company. Also, an operations manager joined in the recruiting event, and they were able to speak to the specific job responsibilities.

It offered me an opportunity to gain experience in the field that I want to pursue after college, while also being in a very interesting industry. It was also enticing because NRG is a very well known and successful company with [thousands of] employees.

What were some of your key responsibilities and projects?

我的主要责任是为经纪人设置和定价RFP(要求)。从那里,我增加了各种利润,将我们的价格提交给经纪人,并希望赢得合同。我还帮助销售支持,解决了Salesforce不同聚合中的错误。

I assisted the team in a number of departments like marketing, innovation, and business model. There, I was able to conduct market research and gather survey insights for the teams.

您对NRG和能源行业的理解如何发生变化?

I learned that NRG’s core values are truly present in everything we do, not just a promise made in external communications.

As an MBA intern, I completed site visits to the Smart Home and T.H. Wharton power plant. These visits allowed me to interact with folks on other teams. Working alongside the other MBA interns and the full-time rotational associate team also helped me learn more about their teams and the projects they were working on.

您今年夏天在NRG最喜欢的经历是什么?

Touring the operating power plant. I was able to see, in-person, how everything works and the challenges the plants deal with. This gave me a lot of perspective for when you are dispatching those assets on the desk.

我真的很喜欢HBCU奖学金事件。我必须见到奖学金获奖者的[总裁兼首席执行官]毛里西奥[Gutierrez],以及庆祝多样性,公平和包容的同事(de&i)。

您是否了解到您以前不知道的任何职业机会?

I learned about the go-to-market team and how I can work with other departments to come up with new strategies and expand on product ideas for them to hit the market.

Macy Pham – Go-To-Market Intern, Green Mountain Energy – University of Houston ‘24

Before joining the internal audit team, I knew very little about the day-to-day life of somebody working in this field. During my internship, I learned about many opportunities through the finance department and beyond.

您的实习经验是否给您带来了NRG的包容感?

是的,我立即感到整合,就像我是团队的重要资产一样。整个夏天,我都被视为团队的成员,而不是实习生。就像任何专职员工一样,我有一个平等的机会表达自己的意见,提出想法并为项目做出贡献。

Katie Cowan – MBA Intern, Customer Experience – UT Austin ‘23

Yes, everyone on the team was kind and wanted to share their knowledge with me.

Rumi Mordi – Intern, DE&C – University of Houston ‘23

您对您的实习经历感到最惊讶的是什么?

I was most surprised about the opportunities to interact with high-level people on a regular basis. I was not expecting to have the chance to hear them speak, network with them, and present to them.

我能够建立的网络和领导层得到的支持。我能够在10周的计划中与25多名新人见面。

There are so many different departments within NRG, and they all have a hand in the success of the company.

What advice would you want to pass on to future interns?

Ask questions! Employees at绿山能量NRG非常友善,一定会回答它们。另外,不要害怕向团队提出新的观点或想法。这就是实习生的目的。我们为多年来从事工作的人们提供了新的外观,因此请对您的想法和见解充满信心。

Macy Pham – Go-To-Market Intern, Green Mountain Energy – University of Houston ‘24

我可以接受的最好的建议是在您的角色中寻求不适。走出您的舒适区,为自己创造更有价值的体验。我希望我一直在与新朋友结识。另外,如果您感到无聊或没有挑战,请与您的经理交谈,直到他们不得不给您一些事情来做的事情将表明您超越了。
