Join Labcorp’s 2027 Global Internship Program and take the first step toward a meaningful career in healthcare innovation! We’re looking for motivated students to be part of a dynamic 12-week paid internship where you’ll work on impactful projects and gain real-world experience, all while supporting our mission to improve health and improve lives.

Internship 2027 Dates: May 24, 2027-August 13, 2027

About the Team:

This internship is designed for a student who wants exposure to how modern, large-scale enterprise networks are engineered, automated, monitored, secured, and operated. Rather than focusing on a single technology, you will work alongside experienced engineers across a diverse technology stack spanning data center networking, load balancing, DNS/DHCP/IPAM, infrastructure automation, observability, security, cloud integrations, and network management platforms.

This is a hands-on learning opportunity. You will not simply observe the team—you will participate in real engineering projects, build automation, analyze infrastructure, improve documentation, and help solve problems in a production-scale technology environment.

You will be paired with experienced engineers who will provide mentorship throughout the internship and help you develop both your technical skills and your understanding of enterprise IT engineering.

About the Program:

As a Labcorp intern, you’ll be immersed in hands-on work that complements your academic background. In addition to your project work, you’ll gain valuable exposure to Labcorp’s global business, culture, and leadership through:

Enterprise-wide learning experiences that introduce you to key business functions across Labcorp

Leadership exposure and visibility, including direct interaction wit
