Summer 2027 Internships: Open Roles and Canadian Co-op Terms
Summer 2027 internships that are open now in the United States and Canada, with open roles by field, Canadian co-op terms, and eight live postings read line by line.
Summer 2027 internships are open now in both the United States and Canada. When we checked the Summer 2027 page on November 11, 2026, it listed about 20,900 open roles from about 3,000 companies, and about 2,600 of them had been added that week. Intern Insider pages refresh about once a day, so treat those figures as a snapshot. This guide covers which fields have the most openings, how Canadian co-op terms fit a summer search, and eight live postings with the enrollment, pay, and work-authorization lines from each employer's own page.
If you want the calendar view of when each industry opens applications, our earlier guide to when summer 2027 applications open covers that. This post is about the roles that are open now.
Where summer 2027 internships are open#
Engineering is the biggest single category by a wide margin. On November 11, 2026, about 6,100 open Summer 2027 listings were classed as engineering. Finance and accounting came next with about 1,760, then software development with about 1,100. Business operations, research and development, sales, data and analytics, marketing, and supply chain each had between about 600 and 760.
A category is a starting point, not a filter you should trust on its own. A process engineering role at a semiconductor plant and a strategy role at an insurer can both ask for STEM students, so browse a few related categories before you decide a field is thin. For software roles, our software engineer internships guide covers the employers, pay, and eligibility lines in that group.

Canadian co-op roles for summer 2027#
Canada is a smaller market with a different shape. On November 11, 2026, the Summer 2027 Canada page listed 995 open roles from 243 companies, and 239 had been added that week. About 120 of the Canadian listings use the word co-op in the title, but many roles that work as co-op terms are titled "student" or "intern" instead, so a title search alone misses a lot of them.
The biggest Canadian employers in that snapshot were in resources, manufacturing, and technology. Cameco had 40 Canadian listings, Celestica 33, Qualcomm 32, and Canadian Natural Resources 30. BASF showed 97 Canadian listings, but those covered 24 distinct requisitions, because BASF publishes each posting on several of its career sites. Read BASF's count with that in mind.
The main thing to check on a Canadian summer posting is the length of the term. A 4-month summer term from May to August is the common case, but several large employers use the Summer 2027 label for 8-month or 16-month terms that only start in May. Your school may treat a 16-month placement differently from a single work term, so ask your co-op office before you accept. Some postings, such as Cameco's, also ask you to return to school after the term. Our Winter 2027 internships guide explains how Canadian co-op calendars differ from the United States pattern.

United States roles across fields#
These four United States postings come from manufacturing, civil engineering, media, and retail, which is roughly how broad the summer market is. Each one states its terms in a different way.
The GlobalFoundries posting is titled Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Intern, Process and Equipment (Summer 2027) and lists Malta, New York. It asks that you be at least a sophomore at the time of application and actively pursuing a bachelor's in chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, or a related field.

The HNTB Intern Engineer posting is a Summer 2027 role in the White Plains, New York office.

It asks for active enrollment in a degree-granting program for the whole program, a class standing of sophomore or above (30 credits), and a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above. Spring 2027 graduates are not eligible. You must be available to work 16 to 24 hours per week from June 7 to August 13, 2027, and you must not require work visa sponsorship from NBCUniversal now or in the future.

The Target Associate Buyer posting is an entry-level role in Minneapolis that starts in Summer 2027, with a starting hourly rate of $29.00. The posting describes it as a realistic job preview into life as an Associate Buyer, within the merchandising department. It does not state an enrollment, graduation, or work-authorization line, so confirm those with the recruiter if they matter for you.
How to use the summer 2027 pages#
Start with the country and field, then read the posting itself. The Intern Insider card gives you the title, location, and a summary, but the employer page is where the term length, the graduation window, and the work-authorization line live. Seven of the eight postings above give a pay figure, two set a minimum GPA, and three limit eligibility by citizenship or by sponsorship. None of that shows up in a title.
If you are in Canada, filter by the Canada page first and check whether the term is 4, 8, or 16 months. If you are in the United States, check the sponsorship line before you spend time on a cover letter. For help with the application itself, our tech internship resume guide and internship deadlines guide cover the parts most students ask about.
