"Energy in Training" Intern Program

Chesapeake’s “Energy in Training” intern program maximizes our college recruiting efforts and encourages students to enter the industry while still learning. Our interns are mentored by experienced professionals in every department, where each performs real work during his or her time here and receives hands-on experience while adapting to our fast-paced environment.

The advantages speak for themselves. Last year 80% of eligible interns were offered a full-time position with us. Our acceptance rate for these offers was 95%.

This year, the 2008 summer internship program theme was “Life Under Construction.”  The activities in this year’s program included:

Summer Kickoff Party – A meet and greet with the CEO and senior vice presidents

Intern Orientation – Learned the history of the company with our CEO

Chesapeake 101 – Lunch & Learn sessions that focused on a number of our core departments: engineering, geoscience, land, land administration and information technology taught by the departments’ senior leadership

Personal Challenges – Lunch & Learn sessions that focused on personal topics such as home buying, interviewing and preparing for professional careers

Intern and leadership luncheons – Periodically scheduled at various restaurants throughout the city, these lunches featured a guest Chesapeake speaker

Rig tour - Interns saw firsthand how our drilling operations work

After-hours – Go-Kart racing, bowling, RedHawks baseball games and other entertaining outings

By summer’s end, our interns had a well-rounded preview of what work and life are like at Chesapeake, as well as our goals as an organization.
