“SJI is humbled and deeply honored to receive Stockton University’s Annual Internship Partner Appreciation Award,” said Karen Phillips, Senior Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer, SJI. “Mentoring, gaining hands-on experience and having the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our business and in the communities we serve are exciting ways that we welcome our early-career professionals at SJI.”

SJI is proud to offer a variety of different professional development programs, each with a robust schedule of events.

SJI’s IGNITE Internship Program is an 11-week, full-time program offering college students a great way to immerse themselves into SJI’s culture while developing their professional skills. As IGNITE interns, students learn from a team of mentors, participate in networking events, and gain valuable hands-on experience in the energy industry. Their efforts culminate in making a meaningful impact on our business and in the community. 

In addition, SJI’s POWER Leadership Development Program is a two-year rotational program that prepares early-career individuals with demonstratable abilities and experiences in leadership, communication, innovation, and initiative to become future leaders within our organization.

During each rotation, SJI provides both formal and on-the-job training to help employees develop their skills and abilities within each respective business area. As a result, POWER employees become vital assets to the organization and are able to leverage their newly acquired leadership skills to think big, lead and inspire and deliver results.
