Operations CoOp

What we are looking for

We are seeking innovators, collaborators, and problem solvers. Our interns and co-ops do not shy away from a challenge, and are looking for a chance to create a real impact with our company. Avery Dennison’s Internship & Co-Op Program has a single business focus to cultivate future talent for our rapidly growing organization. With a concentrated blend of experiential on-the-job learning, a dynamic environment, access to business leaders, and a supportive team of co-workers, peers, and supervisors, the Internship Program will provide you the opportunity to sharpen your skills and collaborate on a number of strategic projects.

We’re seeking an Operations Co-Op to join our business in North America starting in January 2027. You will be responsible for completing an assignment focused on process improvement initiatives and collaborating with the plant’s leadership team in one of our state of the art facilities. After a successful co-op you will get hands-on experience in manufacturing. Our co-op program serves as a talent pipeline for our Early Careers Program in Operations and throughout the organization.

Avery Dennison’s Co-Op and Internship Program is unlike any other with its emphasis on networking, community and support. From Day 1, networking is encouraged, promoted and expected within the program. As you are on-boarded with other summer interns and Early Careers Program associates from various tracks, you quickly develop a community of individuals all committed to make sure you have what it takes to succeed.

A core component of the curriculum is the peer mentoring program. Paired with an Early Careers Associate or program graduate within the organization, the program focuses on the transition from college to corporate, leveraging strengths and defining your early career path.

In addition as an organization that values diversity and inclusion, we welcome our co-op associates to take an active role in our Employee Resource Groups(ERG’s). ERG’s are a group of employees that help advance and promote diversity, cultural awareness and an inclusive work environment. Some of our ERG’s are Black Employee Resource Group (BERG), Elevate(Women’s Leadership Development), NEO Chinese Association, Unite(LGBT+), Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG) and Voz Latina.

Co-Op and Internships at Avery Dennison are paid and relocation assistance is available to those that qualify.
