Intern Program Testimonials

  • Air Liquide fosters a unique culture of growth where mentorship is available at every corner. My experience was defined by the willingness of subject matter experts across all departments to share their passion and knowledge, helping me navigate my project of creating a technical onboarding guide while feeling supported by a community that truly invests in its people.
    Kyra Kwek | Mentorship & Culture
  • Driven by a passion for sustainability, I learned that Air Liquide values a dynamic career path over a static one. The most valuable skill I developed was self-advocacy—learning to communicate my interests and seek out diverse projects like Biogas and Hydrogen, which has empowered me to take ownership of my long-term professional development.
    Karla Martinez | Career Growth & Sustainability
  • The welcome feeling in the plants and the intentionality of leadership stand out most. Working at Bayport, I saw firsthand how managers balance the unpredictability of plant operations; the team acts as a well of support, providing the tools and shadowing opportunities necessary to build a strong professional foundation and confidence.
    Jaylyn Glenn | Team Dynamics & Support
  • My internship focused on the technical complexity of high-voltage systems and relay upgrades. Diving into SKM (Systems Knowledge & Management) models and walking sites to cross-reference drawings allowed me to see the immediate tangibility of engineering. The hands-on nature of these projects turned theoretical concepts into practical skills in power systems and equipment protection.
