RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimley-Horn was named one of the nation's top internship programs by Yello, earning a spot on the top 100 Internship Programs list. Selected from hundreds of nominations, Kimley-Horn was recognized for creating an internship experience that engages, supports, and prepares early-career talent to become future industry leaders.

Kimley-Horn interns are integral members of project teams, contributing to real client work that helps drive successful outcomes for clients and communities while earning competitive compensation and building lasting relationships. In 2025, 84% of Kimley-Horn's more than 1,200 interns received a full-time or returning internship offer, demonstrating the program to be a launchpad for long-term careers.

Reflecting on their experience after just one month, Sara Ishak, Landscape Architecture intern, said, "I was able to help with concept designs, hand sketching, outdoor pool deck designs, parking expansions, and other landscape projects. This team has taught me collaboration, technical skills, design analysis, and commitment."
