2025 Coaching Internships in Michigan
One thing is for sure when you land a Michigan internship—you won’t be more than six miles from an inland lake or more than 85 miles from a Great Lakes shoreline. Besides natural beauty, the “mitten” and the Upper Peninsula support industries as diverse as tourism, copper and iron mining, aerospace, furniture, and information technology, to name a few. Engineering interns in Michigan also have Henry Ford to thank for developing the moving assembly line in Highland Park. Today, the domestic auto industry gives rise to 10% of jobs in the United States. Interns in Michigan also dwell in an economy driven by research and development, led by institutions the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Wayne State University. With $1.5 billion heading towards R&D each year, the state attracts companies that want to draw from a highly skilled talent pool. Downtown Detroit alone employs about 80,500 people and is the largest source of architectural and engineering jobs in the country. Internships in Michigan feed into the “Big Three” automakers General Motors, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler headquartered in Detroit, as well as the big four accounting firms. From the liberal college town of Ann Arbor to the furniture-building city of Grand Rapids, Michigan internships offer a wide variety of experiences in both work and student life.
