National Grid Partners with Stony Brook University for Externship Program
For the second consecutive year, National Grid’s New York Gas Complex Capital Construction team has joined forces with Stony Brook University’s Diversity Professional Leadership Network (DPLN) program. This year-long externship provides mentorship and hands-on experience to undergraduate students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds. Through National Grid’s Social Impact initiative, Grid for Good, students were offered a one-week paid, hybrid work experience, created for workforce development.
This impactful partnership was recently highlighted in Newsday, which covered how companies are preparing for Generation Z in the workforce.
