College Internship Program
The BNSF Internship program is three month program designed to provide college students with meaningful, practical on-the-job experience in a business environment. The time spent as an intern allows
the student to evaluate BNSF for future employment. During the internship, a student
receives evaluations based on his or her performance and overall contribution
to the organization. These evaluations are one of the tools used for future
hiring consideration and acceptance into BNSF's Management
Trainee Program.

Internship candidates
|
Candidates for internships are typically full-time students currently
enrolled at a college or university who are pursuing an undergraduate
degree or a graduate degree in a field of study that supports BNSF's
business objectives.
BNSF recruits candidates from college campuses, minority student
referral programs, the Internet, and employee referrals.

The three month program begins with a half-day orientation which includes an overview of corporate
policies and appropriate conduct. Interns also participate in several
key activities throughout the duration of the program, including:
- Exposure to presentations by various department leaders
- Activity feedback reports prepared by the intern
- Midterm and final performance evaluations by supervisors
- Exposure to some BNSF Management Trainee Program activities
- Networking opportunities
- Opportunities to interact socially with other BNSF interns
- Railyard tour

Interns who are entering their final year of college study and
are interested in pursuing a Management Trainee position with BNSF
are afforded the opportunity to participate in a skills assessment
at the conclusion of their program. The results of the assessment
along with performance evaluations and panel interviews, make up
the BNSF Management Trainee screening process.
