Sherwin-Williams offers students the chance to take part in one of the first large-scale co-op programs in the Northeast Ohio region. The information technology professional apprentice considers talented students as full-time employees; students commit to the program until graduation, and for six months to one-year afterward. A broad range of positions is available in infrastructure, corporate applications, Internet services, security, and client services.
The stores internship program offers full-time students entering their junior or senior year at an accredited four-year college or university the opportunity to gain on-the-job experience while earning a competitive hourly wage. Over 3,300 company-owned stores throughout the United States and Canada provide practical, on-the-job experience in sales/customer service, marketing/merchandising, product knowledge, inventory management, financial reports, accounts receivable, and operations management.
The research and development internship is a 12-week program that provides interns and co-ops the chance to learn about the chemistry of paint in a real world setting. Program participants work in an industrial setting and attend lunchtime lectures focused on acquiring skills like effective resume writing, interviewing skills, and presentation/writing skills.
Lastly, the global supply chain internship is open to undergraduate and graduate students studying engineering, operations, supply chain, environmental health and safety, and human resources.
