Centauri Welcomes 2020 Summer Interns to First-Ever Virtual Program
Centauri, a leading provider of high-end space, intelligence, directed energy, and cyber solutions, this month welcomed college students to its 2020 summer internship program. In a first for the company, this year’s internship program will be conducted remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 70 students from across the country will participate in the program.

“The health and safety of our interns is the top priority and exposing them to any unnecessary risk would be unacceptable. Canceling their program after months of anticipation would also be unacceptable,” said Dr. Ron Fairbanks, Centauri technical director. “After speaking with our mentors and Centauri leadership, we determined that this year’s program can safely continue virtually while providing students with the same level of consequential work and corporate experience.”

Fairbanks said that interns may have the opportunity to periodically visit Centauri office spaces, provided that the company’s strict safety procedures – which include social distancing and face coverings – are followed.
Centauri’s Summer Internship Program provides challenging and meaningful work experience to rising juniors, seniors, and grad students seeking science, engineering, and software development opportunities. This summer, Centauri offices in Alabama, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia are participating in the program.
“Our interns work on cutting-edge projects with real-world relevance while receiving mentorship from some of the brightest minds in their field,” said Dr. Darren McKnight, Centauri technical director.
