Intern Opportunity

Every day, one out of every four people around the world uses a 3M product. That's because every day at 3M, our employees have one thing in mind - to help customers succeed at home, in the workplace, on the go and around the world. Our employees have an uncanny ability to see customer needs and then meet them by drawing on 3M's pool of technology.

An internship is a temporary, possibly full-time assignment with 3M's Corporate Student Programs. Corporate Student Programs is designed to provide 3M with the opportunity to identify qualified candidates for regular employment, and to provide students with the opportunity to integrate their academic knowledge with work experience. As a Student Programs participant you will develop skills, and gain work experience in your field of study.

This position is limited to working 899 hours per service credit year.  

This particular internship opportunity will support manufacturing related to completing improvement projects in areas such as chemical process optimization, process and product understanding experimentation, training program improvements, inventory control, or product quality. This internship will be located at the Decatur, AL facility, assisting the 3M technical staff in the performance of their job responsibilities. Actual projects will be tailored around the plant needs and your career interest and skills to the greatest extent possible.  You will have the opportunity to spend time on the production floor observing our processes and will be given assignments to assist the manufacturing engineering staff in day-to-day operations of the plant.
