The School of Packaging internship program at Michigan State University is one of the largest of its kind. It has steadily grown since its inception and now involves hundreds of corporations from across the United States and almost three-fourths of our 200 graduates per year. This program is an excellent way of adding immediate assistance to staff and aids in identifying potential full-time employees for future positions. Interns are capable of offering a great deal of assistance to regular staff engineers while taking on many projects independently. Junior or senior status.
Students earn three credits for the internship experience.
Employers typically cover travel expenses for the student to begin work and return to school afterward. Finding and paying for housing is often the intern's responsibility, but we ask that employers offer assistance in locating suitable accommodations. Offers Offers are made directly to the students with a follow up call to the program coordinator. Employers should respond in writing to each student interviewed and try to make offers as quickly as possible after interviews are completed. Because students have leases and enrollment issues to settle, timely offers are important.
