Our Work
Advancing STEM Pioneers in Research in Energy Sciences (ASPIRES) Internship
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab's Energy Sciences Area (ESA) has partnered with the CAP Program for the last 5 years to do a 10-week, paid internship program. The ASPIRES internship program matches 10-12 undergraduate students with ESA mentors and an assigned project based on their skills and STEM discipline every summer. The goal of this internship is for the ASPIRES Cohort to gain exposure of the vast scientific network at Berkeley Lab and shine a light on many possible career paths with a degree in STEM. The ASPIRES internship will continue in Summer 2026.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) Internship
The CAP Program partners with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) through the LLNL x CSUEB Talent Pipeline Program to provide paid internship opportunities for CSUEB students in high-impact STEM roles. Launched in Spring 2025 and continuing again in Spring 2026, this internship places one undergraduate student as a Software Developer Intern within LLNL’s Computing Department. The intern contributes to the development of an enterprise-level, risk-informed decision-making tool that supports national security and infrastructure planning efforts for LLNL and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). Through this experience, students gain hands-on exposure to software development, advanced analytics, and mission-driven research in a nationally recognized laboratory committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Intuitive Surgical, Inc.
For the past two years in the Fall, the CAP Program has partnered with Intuitive Surgical, Inc. to host a one day immersive, on-campus event that introduce students to cutting-edge robotic surgical technology and industry career pathways. Through interactive demonstrations, students gain hands-on exposure to Intuitive’s state-of-the-art surgical robot while engaging directly with industry professionals. The partnership also includes career development talks and Q&A sessions focused on careers at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and engineering, helping students connect academic preparation with real-world applications in the medical technology industry.
Genentech Mentoring Program — — Fall 2024
Professionals from Genentech's Early Clinical Development (ECD) provides a mentorship program for CSUEB students. The program will include a tailored experience to immerse students in the world of biotechnology as a potential career path. It will also have individualized personal and career support to build confidence, increase knowledge of the drug development industry, and provide guidance, advice and feedback from experienced biotech professionals. The Genentech Mentoring Program has been on pause for the 2025-2026 academic school year, but will start again in Fall 2026.
