Engineering co-op students at Sun Chemical Corporation are considered to be an integral part of the Engineering staff and are provided with tasks that are both technically challenging and educationally stimulating. Under guidance of the senior engineering staff, the students will be assigned to teams associated with ongoing manufacturing projects.

The goal of our co-op program is to develop future engineering resources for our organization while providing support to our central engineering group. We structure the co-op assignments so that, with each new term, the candidates develop the ability to accept an increasing level of complexity and self-reliance. It is our goal to have our Co-Ops fully capable of stepping into a full-time engineering position within our organization by the end of the program.
