Cooperative Education and Internship Programs

We have the power to energize your career!

We offer college undergraduates the opportunity to train and work in a dynamic, diverse and challenging environment. Several hundred students currently participate in our Cooperative Education and Internship Programs each semester.

DTE Energy is one of the nation's largest diversified energy companies. Perhaps you're acquainted with us through our Michigan public utilities -- Detroit Edison (electric) and MichCon (natural gas). Did you know we also operate businesses in 28 other states? These non-utility businesses - many of them headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI -- are focused in five areas: Coal and Gas Midstream Services, Unconventional Gas production, Power and Industrial Projects, and Energy Trading. (Learn more about DTE Energy.)

You can be part of the dynamic change that is happening throughout the energy industry.
