Intern events were great for meeting people.
Company seemed very well organized.
Felt like I was doing important assignments
What I wish was different
I wish I had been paired up with another intern. This would have made adjusting to full time work easier and also would have allowed me to have communication with someone of similar experience.
Advice
Ask many questions to your superiors. They have much more experience and are eager to share that knowledge.

What I liked
FPL has a strong will thought out internship program. They try to provide students with a hands on experience that allows them to learn with employees and do real work.
What I wish was different
I wished a had a clear idea of what I was going to be doing before starting the internship.
Advice
I loved my internship with FPL. I believe reason I enjoyed it so much was because I connected with my coworkers. Therefore, suggest that you ask a lot of questions and be brave enough to talk to your employees and other interns around you.

Protection and Controls Engineer
May - August 2018 • Ormond Beach, FL
What I liked
The pay was great and the company as a whole was open about their values and priorities, such as safety. The internship offered a keen insight into a working life at Florida Power and Light.
What I wish was different
I wish there had been more individual, more structured work. Roughly half of the days I would spend out in the field shadowing but when I was back at the office there was little work (even busy work) to be done and those days were monotonous.
Advice
Go in prepared to learn. This is a great opportunity to understand so much about the field. At the end of the day, you only get back what you’re willing to put in.
