Job Title: Intern – Operations / Technical Services / Engineering / IT / Accounting / Safety
EXO Inc. has been protecting public infrastructure across the U.S. since 2009. Without consistent maintenance and quality assurance, critical assets face a growing risk of failure over time.

With deep expertise in vertical infrastructure, EXO builds on years of engineering design and fabrication experience across utilities, telecom, transportation, and retail sectors. This foundation supports a comprehensive inspection and asset management approach that addresses both new installations and aging structures requiring immediate attention.
Recognizing that full replacement is often impractical due to cost and safety constraints, EXO developed its “Ex-Tend” approach to manage assets throughout their entire life cycle.

Supported by data-driven insights, EXO helps clients monitor asset conditions and make informed, strategic decisions.

Tips for Your PT Internship Search
Start your search in the fall for summer roles
Large hospital systems and rehabilitation networks recruit summer pt interns the preceding fall, often closing cohorts before spring semester begins. Smaller outpatient clinics and co-op programs post closer to start dates, so check listings consistently rather than waiting for one recruiting window.
Build proof with projects before you apply
Hiring teams expect limited work history at the intern level, so give recruiters something concrete to assess. For pt candidates, that means documented case studies, observation logs with structured notes, or kinesiology and anatomy projects with clear outcomes. Name the tools and techniques you used and note where the work can be reviewed.
Work your campus network and apply directly at the same time
Campus career fairs surface structured internship programs tied to your university, and professors and career center staff often know which employers recruit from your school before roles post publicly. Apply directly to clinics and health systems running smaller cohorts alongside campus activity to widen the pool you reach.
Practice your interview format out loud before the screen
PT intern interviews typically include clinical reasoning scenarios, patient communication role-plays, or anatomy and kinesiology knowledge checks. Practice answering these out loud, walking through your reasoning step by step, since interviewers weigh how you think through a case as much as the final answer you give.
Target structured internship pipelines built for new candidates
Larger health systems and rehabilitation groups run cohort-based internship programs designed to train people new to the field. These programs recruit early and fill fast. Identify which employers in your target market run structured intern cohorts, note their application windows, and apply in the first wave rather than after the cohort is partially full.
Set your work-type filter before you start searching
On-site roles are 100% of the pt internships listed here. Decide what you can commit to before you start sorting, then filter by location and work type so you are reviewing only the roles you can actually take. Applying selectively to the right openings is faster than sorting through a broad list later.
PT Internships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a pt internship?
Lead with coursework and personal projects rather than work history, since hiring teams expect limited experience at the intern level. For pt candidates, a documented clinical observation log, case study write-ups, or a movement-analysis project gives recruiters something concrete to assess. Combine direct applications to hospital systems and outpatient clinics with campus career fairs, where recruiters often move faster for students they meet in person.
Can a pt internship turn into a full-time job?
Many employers extend return offers to strong interns, but conversion is never guaranteed. For pt interns, what actually drives it is consistent performance on real patient-care or research tasks, available headcount in the department, and how early the employer's return-offer decisions happen. Position yourself by taking on meaningful work and asking your supervisor about the team's hiring plans, without counting on an offer before it's made.
When should I apply for pt internships?
Earlier than most expect. Large hospital networks and rehabilitation groups recruit summer interns the preceding fall, sometimes as early as September or October. Smaller outpatient clinics and co-op programs post closer to their start dates, so openings appear year-round. Check listings regularly rather than waiting for a single recruiting season.
Are pt internships paid?
Most professional pt internships in the U.S. are paid. Compensation varies by company size, industry, and location, and listings show it where the employer discloses it. Clinical rotations tied to a degree program sometimes operate under unpaid academic credit arrangements, so read each listing carefully to understand the structure before applying.
What should a pt internship resume include?
Lead with projects, not work history: two or three complete, documented projects with the tools and techniques used and where to see the work. For pt candidates, that means linked case studies, documented patient observation hours, anatomy or kinesiology coursework with notable outcomes, and any clinical simulation or lab work. Add relevant coursework and keep the whole document to one page.
Are there remote pt internships?
Yes. Remote and hybrid roles make up 0% of the pt internship listings here, with the rest on-site. Remote cohorts in research coordination, health informatics, or administrative PT roles fill fast, so apply early and filter by work type to see them before they close.
Can international students get pt internships?
Yes. F-1 students can intern through CPT while enrolled or through OPT work authorization after finishing a degree, and the employer does not have to file anything for either, so many companies are open to international interns. Confirm your eligibility and timing with your university's international student office before accepting an offer.
