I've had a tremendous response to my Summer Internship 2027 post so I want to clarify something up front: I don't have the details of our team's 2027 internship positions yet. The specific openings and application details are still being finalized. My goal right now is to start connecting with students who might be interested once those opportunities become available. For our team specifically, there are a few important things to know up front: the work would be onsite in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, in the Berkshires. U.S. citizenship is required, and you would need to be able to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance. You do not need to already have one. If those things work for you, here's the part I'm excited about. The GDMS summer internship program is typically a 10–12 week experience, and it's much more than just sitting next to someone and watching them work. Interns participate in mentoring, professional development, networking events, leadership sessions, manager lunches, volunteering, and an end-of-summer presentation. And then there's the actual technical experience. Our infrastructure team works across networking, Linux and Windows, servers, virtualization, cybersecurity, automation, scripting, containers, DevSecOps, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and increasingly AI and AIOps. That's a lot. An intern isn't coming here because they already know it. They're coming here because they want the chance to learn it. You might see how engineers troubleshoot a network when the answer isn't obvious. You might work around Linux or Windows systems, security tools, automation, scripting, virtualization, or infrastructure you've only read about in class. You may come in thinking networking is your thing and discover Linux. Maybe you're studying cybersecurity and realize you really like automation. Maybe you still have no idea which direction you want to go. That's okay. That's one of the things an internship should help you figure out. The internship program is open pretty broadly to college students, from rising freshmen through postgraduate students, provided you're enrolled in a related academic program and can commit to the required summer schedule. So again, I'm not announcing a Summer 2027 opening yet. I'm trying to connect with good students now so that when those positions are finalized, we've already started the conversation. If you're studying networking, cybersecurity, IT, computer science, computer engineering, or something related, feel free to connect with me or send me a message. You don't need to impress me with a huge list of technologies. Tell me what you're learning, what you're curious about, and what you'd like the chance to learn next.

As I've been applying for internships and scholarships, I've noticed a trend among students and early-career professionals entering technology fields: many seem to overlook the experience they're already building through college. A question that comes up frequently is, "How am I supposed to gain experience if no one will hire me without experience?" And while professional experience absolutely matters, I think there's an important distinction that often gets lost in that conversation: professional experience is not the only kind of experience. Your schoolwork is actively building technical experience. While your skill level may still be intermediate or even novice, that doesn't negate the experience you're gaining through your classes—creating algorithms, working with different IDEs, learning programming languages, troubleshooting runtime errors, using databases, working with APIs, testing software, and everything else that comes with actually building things. Something I've found useful is keeping a log of which classes use which skills, languages, IDEs, APIs, databases, frameworks, and other technologies. You can even track approximately how much time you spend actively using them. That gives you something concrete to reference when you're building your resume instead of looking at a job posting and thinking, "I've never had a job doing this, so I have no experience." The important part is being accurate about what that experience represents. Spending hundreds of hours using Java through coursework and academic projects is legitimate hands-on Java experience. It isn't hundreds of hours of professional Java experience, and it shouldn't be presented that way. Professional employment belongs under work experience. Academic projects, coursework, and hands-on technical experience can demonstrate and support the skills you list elsewhere on your resume. I think that distinction is incredibly important, especially for students trying to break into technology. You don't have to pretend your coursework was professional employment—but you also don't have to erase years of learning, practicing, troubleshooting, and building simply because no one was paying you to do it yet. #ComputerScience #BreakingIntoTech #TechCareers #Internships #CareerDevelopment #ResumeTips #CollegeStudents

If you're a college student looking at IT internships and seeing job descriptions full of things like BGP, Kubernetes, Terraform, RHEL, Ansible, firewalls, CI/CD and cybersecurity standards... You're not supposed to know all of that yet. Seriously. That's part of why internships exist. I'm starting to think ahead to Summer 2027 and connect with students who might be interested in spending a summer with our IT/infrastructure team at General Dynamics Mission Systems in the Berkshires. The interesting part of our team is just how much technology crosses through it. Networking. Linux and Windows. Servers and virtualization. Cybersecurity. Automation and scripting. Containers and DevSecOps. Cloud infrastructure. And now AI and AIOps are becoming part of that world too. An intern isn't going to show up and be expected to be an expert in those things. What I'd want someone to get out of a summer with us is the chance to see how they actually work together. Why does DNS matter so much? What really happens when a packet can't get where it's going? How do you troubleshoot a Linux server when the answer isn't in the lab instructions? Why automate something instead of doing it manually? How do security requirements change the way you build a system? What does enterprise infrastructure actually look like compared with the network you built for a class or at home? That's the stuff an internship should teach you. By the end of the summer, I'd rather you leave with a bunch of stories about things you helped troubleshoot, build, automate or figure out than just another line on your résumé. If you're studying networking, cybersecurity, IT, computer science, computer engineering or something similar and Summer 2027 is starting to cross your mind, feel free to connect with me or send me a message. You don't need to have your career figured out yet. That's kind of the point.

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." ~ 🪁💡👓💯<--(quiz time: who said it) One week ago, we said farewell to our first intern, Eric Harper. When Eric started, he was learning the basics of day-to-day IT operations, alerts, tickets, email quarantine, the unglamorous work that keeps an environment running. By the end, he was designing and troubleshooting a multi-site network with redundant firewalls, dynamic routing, and site to site VPN connectivity. Watching that growth over just a few months was genuinely impressive to see. What stood out most to us wasn't any single technology he picked up. It was how he approached problems. Things didn't always work on the first try, and Eric learned to slow down, ask the right questions, and work through issues systematically rather than just looking for the fix. That mindset will serve him well no matter where he lands. This internship was the first of an ongoing program we're building at Hempfield Technology to help guide newcomers into managed services. We learned just as much from this experience as Eric did, and we're grateful for the time we got to spend working alongside him. Wishing Eric the best as he heads back to class with a lot more real-world experience under his belt. Excited to see where he goes next. #internship #Learning #ManagedServices
As my internship comes to an end at Hempfield Technology, I’ve been reflecting on everything I’ve had the opportunity to learn and work on over the past few months. One of the things I appreciated most about this experience was the variety. No two days were exactly the same, and I was able to get hands-on experience with several different areas of IT rather than focusing on just one. On a day-to-day basis, I gained experience working with alerts and tickets, checking systems in maintenance mode, handling email quarantine and restore requests, wiping and preparing drives, and helping with the kinds of tasks that keep an IT environment running behind the scenes. These responsibilities gave me a better understanding of the attention to detail and consistency that goes into everyday IT operations. I also had the opportunity to spend a lot of time learning through hands-on projects. I worked with Windows Server and Active Directory, domain-joined systems, Group Policy, virtualization, firewalls, VLANs, routing and switching, VPNs, network segmentation, high availability, and security policies. As I became more comfortable, the projects became more complex. One of my final networking projects involved designing and troubleshooting a multi-site environment with dynamic routing, redundant firewalls, a protected DMZ, site-to-site VPN connectivity, access controls, and failover testing. Being able to take many of the individual concepts I had learned throughout the internship and bring them together into one working environment was a great way to see how much I had progressed. More than any individual technology, though, I think the biggest thing I’m taking away from this internship is a better approach to problem solving. I ran into plenty of things that didn’t work the first time. Learning how to troubleshoot them, ask the right questions, work through a problem systematically, and understand why something was happening was just as valuable as learning how to configure it in the first place. I’m grateful for everyone who took the time to teach me, answer my questions, and give me opportunities to learn throughout this experience. I’m leaving this internship with a much broader understanding of IT, more confidence in my technical abilities, and an even stronger interest in continuing to learn and grow in the field. Below is a picture of the cabling of the final lab I did 👇

We often talk about finding great tech talent. We should help build it. During last week’s SIM San Antonio luncheon, Dr. Jinjun Xiong, Founding Dean of UT San Antonio’s College of AI, Cyber and Computing, emphasized just how important internships are in preparing students for meaningful technology careers. Our local tech community can help turn classroom learning into real-world experience by creating opportunities, mentoring students, and opening doors. Thank you, Dr. Jinjun Xiong, and everyone who joined the conversation!

Every advance in #AI opens up new blind spots, and #cybersecurity is one of the sharpest examples: a single careless upload to the wrong tool, or the wrong account, can hand confidential code to a competitor without anyone noticing. That's the kind of thing on Charith Kumar Gunda's mind lately, and it's part of what makes him a strong fit for our Fall intern cohort. Charith comes to LifeWork through our partnership with Fulton County Schools Gifted Internship Program and the FCS Innovation Academy already carrying real systems experience: RESTful APIs, database integration, and automated test pipelines built for open-source research frameworks. Welcome to the team, Charith! #Internship #FultonCountySchools #FCSInnovationAcademy #SoftwareEngineering #Cybersecurity #LifeWork

IBM Software Lab Ireland is taking applications for internships starting Q1 2027 There are four routes: Software Developer Intern 2027 https://lnkd.in/dGURmxWE Technical Support Intern 2027 https://lnkd.in/dNPyFZwT Design Intern 2027 https://lnkd.in/duFMBUSb Product Manager Intern 2027 https://lnkd.in/dsnJiKjQ Most of the openings are for software developers. Internships are for six to nine month, based in the IBM campus in Mulhuddart, three days a week onsite. A few things worth knowing if you're considering applying: these aren't summer internships, and there aren't shorter placements. The internship is also the main entry point into early-career roles at the Software Lab. It doesn't guarantee a full-time role afterwards, but it can be an important first step towards one. Applications are now open, so if you have recently completed (or are soon completing) a degree in engineering, computing, design, business or a related field, take a look. And if you know someone who is currently trying to figure out what comes next, send this their way. ✨
