University Relations

An education with a career edge

Eastman offers paid internships and co-ops that provide real-world knowledge, enhance collegiate experiences, and prepare students for professional careers. Interns and co-op participants are treated as professionals and often have ownership of projects and assignments.

Through countless activities outside of work, our internships and co-op programs also provide an abundance of networking opportunities. In the spring and autumn terms, approximately 30 to 40 students participate in Eastman programs; in the summer, around 100 students are involved. And you don’t have to be in chemistry or engineering curricula to take advantage of our internship programs. 

Typically, interns and co-op students at Eastman have access to:

Scholarships
Paid vacation and holidays
Housing
Formal mentorship program
Flexible work schedules
Travel reimbursement
Networking with leadership 
Plant tours
Gym facilities
Club sports
And much more
