Johnson Controls, the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, has been named to Yello’s Top 100 Internship Programs list for 2023. The list is released annually on the last Thursday in July, recognized as National Intern Day – a holiday created in 2017 as a nationwide celebration of the contributions interns make and the importance of establishing equitable internship programs.

“Johnson Controls is invested in helping build a brighter tomorrow, and our interns function as a catalyst as we work toward that mission,” said Tayllor Tracy, global internship program coordinator at Johnson Controls. “I’m proud of the foundational values this internship program provides future leaders. Our interns bring valuable ideas, ambition and insights that make our business better.”

This is the second consecutive year Johnson Controls has been named to the list, which is determined by a panel of industry-expert judges and public votes. The judges anonymously evaluate each company on its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, culture and engagement, career development, full-time employment prospects and unique aspects of the program.

In 2023, Johnson Controls hosted more than 300 interns in North America and more than 1,000 globally. In addition to tasks in their work teams, interns participated in a variety of development activities to prepare them for the future. Activities included technology challenges, professional development sessions, virtual learning resources, local volunteering events and future opportunities within the company – all to develop their core skills and values.

Rebecca Rentz has been interning with Johnson Controls for 15 months and has accepted a position with the Accounting & Finance Rotational Program where she will participate in five rotations within two and a half years.

“At Johnson Controls, you don’t feel like just an intern. You feel like an employee that can add value to the organization,” Rentz said. “You feel like you’re in the early stages of a pipeline that is going to develop you into a leader of this organization.”
