Internships are short-term work experiences, often during summer breaks, that allow students or recent graduates to gain practical knowledge and skills in their chosen field.
WEX offers limited internships during the Fall and Winter when necessary.

Co-op (cooperative education) programs are academic programs that alternate periods of study with periods of paid work in related industries.
This allows students to gain practical experience while completing their education. Must be supported by the school’s curriculum.

Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, allowing individuals to learn specialized skills in trades and crafts.

These are unique programs that have specific areas of focus for WEX.
