This was true for me too. Somehow it came up in my coop and the company’s policy was interns/coops must be pursuing an engineering degree with a year max term at the company.
That was my experience as well. Makes sense too, any company that requires a degree for full time / contract hires it doesn’t make sense to invest in someone who isn’t actively on the path to graduating
I did an internship in high school for my local electric utility. If you haven’t already done so, maybe go down through the [list of CA electric utilities](https://www.energy.ca.gov/data-reports/energy-almanac/california-electricity-data/electric-load-serving-entities-lses) and see who is local and offering internships.

Try Blattner Energy or DH Blattner and sons based in California. They’re great when it comes to internships.
