Who can apply?

  • Toyota says its internships are open to undergraduate juniors and seniors currently enrolled at an accredited university.
  • Applicants must be at least 18, enrolled full time in a bachelor's or master's program, have a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher, and have reliable transportation to and from the work location.

Easy to miss

Reliable transportation to the work location is a stated eligibility requirement. Confirm how you would get to the specific facility before you accept, not after.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Many Toyota internships sit at manufacturing and engineering facilities. Show that you understand how work gets done on a floor or in a lab: a process you documented, a defect you traced to its cause, or a safety step you followed and why it mattered. Specific, small examples beat broad claims about efficiency.

Because the program runs during your university's own summer months, write your exact available dates on the application and in interviews, so the team can see the 12 weeks fit. This is our suggestion, not a Toyota requirement.
