The Pearson Education Internship Program (PEIP) offers compensated eight week summer internships to students and recent college graduates (graduation date between January 2010 and June 2014) who are passionate about education, learning technology, and have strong interest in pursuing a post graduate career with Pearson.

As the world’s leading learning company, we are looking for highly motivated individuals with world-class skills who are ready to undertake rigorous and cutting-edge challenges across our organization.
