Transform your education into real-world impact with Ketjen internships and co-ops
At Ketjen, internships and co-ops are hands-on from day one. Students work alongside our engineering, R&D, and manufacturing teams, contributing to real projects that support our customers and our business.
We offer summer internships and spring and fall co-op opportunities for students pursuing degrees in Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry, and Data Science. Candidates must be enrolled at an ABET-accredited university, maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, and remain active students during their program term.
Interns and co-op students work full-time and gain exposure to senior leadership, technical experts, and collaborative project teams. Competitive pay, company holidays, limited vacation days per term, and relocation housing support may be available for qualifying students. Many participants go on to full-time roles with Ketjen.
Recruiting begins each September for the following year’s programs. We participate in regional campus recruiting events, including engineering career fairs.
