Internship at current company or away

Currently a field tech, but in school for Compuer Engineering. Want to know if Verizon will allow me to do internahip with them or would I have to go outside the company and would I get the summer off to do so. hopefully someone in the VZ family knows the answer.

Oh go outside if you want to learn anything relevant to what you are in school for.

You could definitely do an internship with them. I did an internship initially and then was extended a full time offer. Don’t know your age, but we had a past AT&T field tech with us who was over 30. They did great and we both work full time now in different IT teams. I think it depends on your specific management on whether they would allow the summer off. My manager wouldn’t if I was interning in another division.

I am in the exact same position. I would like to do a summer internship somewhere, but I think going outside Verizon would be best
