Summer Virtual Internship Program

Summer Virtual Internship Program

The program will kick-off in early June and end by mid-August

The FPA Emerging Leadership Council (ELC) is excited to launch its second annual internship program for summer 2022. This program is designed to introduce summer interns (individuals joining FPA member companies as summer or part-time hires and are not currently full-time employees) to the flexible packaging industry and create opportunities to network amongst a community of interns across member companies.

Program Highlights

For 2022, the program will be facilitated virtually across 3 primary components:

  • Summer Speaker Series: 4 1-hour sessions where business and thought leaders share their perspectives and trends on various topics including the state of the flexible packaging industry, sustainability, career paths, and more;
  • Small Group Sessions: Leaders from the ELC will host biweekly conversations with 6-8 program members to reflect on events and news coming out across from the industry; and
  • Summer Project: Partner with ELC members to develop a curriculum plan for an Intro to Flexible Packaging training to be held for colleagues new to the industry.

At this time, we are limiting the program to 75 individuals.

  • The internship program will kick-off in early June and end by mid-August.
  • Due to the program limitations, we may need to limit capacity to 5 interns per member company and there is NO cost to participate. Future versions of the program may incur a cost due to an in-person component.
  • Only current FPA member companies may reserve seats in the program.
  • The maximum commitment requested of the interns is 1-1.5 hours per week.
