A majority of our internships are located at our headquarters in Madison, Wisconsin and the Alliant Energy Tower in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. There are also interns based at our generating stations throughout our service area in Wisconsin and Iowa. The location is dependent upon business needs and the type of work assigned to the intern.

Internships are available year-round, but our program is the most active during the summer months. The duration is based on your schedule. We post all our internship opportunities on our online application system as they become available throughout the year.

Please consider setting up an account on our application system so you can create a Job Alert that will notify you when positions of interest become available.
