Internships Should Be More Than Fetching Coffee

Real experience, real responsibility and real mentors. Here is what an internship at USP&E looks like.

Internships should give you real-world experience and industry knowledge, not a coffee order. The Beyond Entrepreneurship (BEX) internship at USP&E is built on that idea.

What is the BEX internship?

BEX is a six-month internship for aspiring entrepreneurs. Interns work in a demanding, international environment while building leadership, character, networking and relationship skills. They practise public speaking and learn to work well both alone and in teams.

What interns work on

  • International business and project support in the energy sector.
  • Digital marketing and communications.
  • Hands-on work guided by experienced professionals.

Why it matters

USP&E is a full-service engineering, EPC and O&M company working on projects across Africa and beyond. Interns see how real power projects are won, built and run, and leave with experience they can use anywhere. To ask about opportunities, email info@uspeglobal.com.
