ExxonMobil’s High School Internship Program—Building Tomorrow’s STEM Leaders
ExxonMobil’s High School Internship Program—Building Tomorrow’s STEM Leaders
Each summer, a select group of high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates from across the region step into ExxonMobil Baton Rouge’s state-of-the-art facilities to participate in one of the most competitive and impactful STEM workforce development programs in the state. The ExxonMobil High School Internship Program, now in its fifth year, has expanded from just six interns in 2021 to 36 students in 2025, chosen from a pool of more than 600 applicants.
This isn’t a typical internship—students complete the same onboarding as full-time ExxonMobil employees, receive workplace safety training, and spend seven to eight weeks embedded in departments such as Mechanical, Engineering, Environmental, Laboratory, and Information Technology. Interns gain hands-on experience alongside industry professionals, developing technical skills through activities like installing pumps, shadowing machinists, and exploring systems in electrical and instrumentation engineering.
The program also prioritizes whole-student development, offering weekly professional growth sessions, résumé-building workshops, college tours, and community service experiences with organizations like Habitat for Humanity and the United Cajun Navy. Interns learn one of the most valuable lessons early: networking matters. As returning intern and Woodlawn High graduate Reagan Rodgers advises, “Talk to everybody. Build connections that could help you in your future career.”
ExxonMobil’s internship is part of a comprehensive workforce pipeline that engages students from elementary school to college, offering STEM activities, mentorship, educator externships, and even free craft training through the North Baton Rouge Industrial Training Initiative.
By investing deeply in local talent, ExxonMobil is helping prepare a diverse and skilled workforce for the Gulf Coast region—opening doors for future engineers, technicians, and innovators, including many of our own CTEC scholars.

Over the past ten years, competitive video gaming has grown into a recognized career option. At Woodlawn High School in East Baton Rouge Parish, students now have the opportunity to explore this fast-growing field through the school’s Esports program.
Team members are not only sharpening their skills in competition but also gaining valuable experience by planning and running tournaments.
“Our events give students the chance to rotate through different roles,” explained Jeffery Harrison, EBR Schools Director of Network Operations & Esports. “Some students handle broadcasting, others serve as play-by-play announcers or color commentators, and many prepare research notes on the players’ backgrounds and performance history. It’s a hands-on learning experience that mirrors what happens in professional Esports.”

A Message from Lt. Col. Morrison
"If you went to the game last night, you may have seen something different from the JROTC department. What you saw was the future of the program. I have been here four years, and I have never seen so many cadets motivated and dedicated to the program. What you saw was 11 cadets who dedicated their time, some of which were splitting time with other extracurricular activities, to learn the art of drill. And that was not all of them, we probably had at least 5-8 more who wanted to do it but couldn't make it yesterday. Oh, and 99% of them are 9th graders! If you have these cadets in your class, please share with them how proud you are of them. They are really making a difference in our program, and they make it easy for CSM Wheeler and me to come to work every day."

"We’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on our incredible intern of the week, Tre! This talented EBRPSS student attended EBR Readiness this spring, and now he’s truly lighting up the team at BRAC! The feedback from the BRAC team has been nothing short of stellar…they can’t stop raving about Tre's phenomenal contributions! 🎉 We couldn’t be prouder of this remarkable young man! To top it all off, Tre had the distinct honor of receiving a personal visit and a proclamation from Mayor-President Edwards today! Talk about a celebration of hard work and achievement! Let's all give Tre a huge round of applause! 👏🙌"

ScreenRecording_06-12-2025 16-46-07_1.movWe’re proud to share that one of our recent CTEC Carpentry graduates has officially joined the Carpenter’s Local Union! As an apprentice, he’s now earning while learning—a true testament to the value of hands-on career and technical education. To celebrate this milestone, representatives from the Union visited CTEC on Wednesday, June 4th, to interview both the student and his instructor, Mr. Ed Gautreaux.
Summer is in full swing with exciting workforce development opportunities! Our team has partnered with seven EBR sites to offer summer enrichment programs for students across East Baton Rouge Parish. Participants are gaining valuable experience while earning high school credits, industry-based credentials, and stipends in areas such as Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), CIW Website Development, and Adobe Photoshop. These sessions run Mondays through Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. through the end of June.
Additionally, 25 EBR students took part in ExxonMobil’s “Career Exploratory Academy” hosted at CTEC from June 2–5. The week concluded with a special field trip to tour the Exxon plant—giving students a firsthand look at career pathways in the energy sector.
Great things are happening this summer in Workforce Development—and we’re just getting started!

We are proud to highlight a moment of collaboration and investment in the future of our youth! Representatives from Entergy presented a generous donation to the Big Buddy Program in support of the Mayor’s Youth Workforce Experience, a powerful partnership between Employ BR, BRCC, EBRPSS, BRAC, Big Buddy, and the Office of the Mayor-President.
This partnership provides local high school scholars with an opportunity to gain valuable exposure to professional work environments, build transferable employability skills, and earn industry-based credentials. Participants who meet the required on-the-job training and classroom instruction hours, as outlined by the Louisiana Department of Education, will also earn one Carnegie unit on their high school transcripts.
Together, we are creating pathways for youth to thrive academically, professionally, and personally—all while investing in Baton Rouge’s future workforce.
