Responsibilities

Talent Acquisition:
Under the Talent Acquisition team, you’ll shadow our recruiters to study the hiring process from resume review to phone screens to offer and dismissal calls. You’ll also participate in new employee orientation (NEO) activities and support crucial aspects of the onboarding process.
People Mobility:
As an intern with the People Mobility team, you'll dive into the world of supporting employee mobility at NREL. You'll gain firsthand experience in relocation, detail assignments, research exchange programs, and US immigration services.
Projects will revolve around supporting NREL's foreign national employees, creating internal resources to educate staff about People Mobility programs, and getting a glimpse into the global mobility strategies that shape NREL's workforce.
HR Business Partnership:
An HR Business Partner (HRBP) is the HR point of contact for all managers within each of our research directorates. Under your HRBP mentor, you may complete projects such as analyzing and presenting data collected during exit interviews, supporting manager competency-building, and coordinating professional development opportunities for managers and employees.
HR Legislation & Policy:
As an intern in the HR Compliance, you'll participate in understanding laws and their impact on policy and practices at NREL. You'll learn more about workplace investigations, reasonable accommodations, and the compliance interplay with HR and business functions.
You'll participate in a team project to review updates to employment legislation, identify policy changes and updates, and jointly present the findings to HR staff.
Global Accessibility & Belonging:
The mentors on this team need your help to compile upcoming and newly passed Colorado laws and study their potential impact on NREL’s HR practices. Based on your findings, you and your mentors will recommend updates to NREL policy to comply with new legislation. You may be invited to share these recommendations in a presentation to the HR team at the end of the summer.
