Industrial Supply Chain Engineering
The Co-op Program includes up to 3 sessions in either the Co-op or internship employment arrangement. For example, the Co-Op typically works 3 alternating semesters or is coordinated to the university academic schedule.
Automated Packaging Systems, Inc. is currently a part of Sealed Air. APS has been an innovator in the bag packaging industry since our inception in 1962. We invented the original pre-opened bags-on-a-roll and named them Autobag®. Today, we offer a full line of bagging, protective packaging and stretch sleeve products to customers around the globe. Our products are utilized in the retail, medical, food, pharmaceutical, automotive, and other industries.
Each session of the program is developed to be a project assignment. The co-op will assist local engineers with long term projects, with ownership of several aspects throughout the assigned timeframe. The participant will complete a formal presentation to higher level leadership about the outcomes at the end of each session.
