2025 Primer Intern

PPG Primer Internships

Are you a 2026 or 2027 student looking for a summer 2025 Internship?

PPG Primers Internship Program is crafted with the primary goal of developing PPG's future leaders through Internships and Emerging Talent Programs.

Primers will choose an internship track giving them the opportunity to assume responsibilities and gain real-world work experience. All 2025 Internships will be on-site in one of PPG offices, plants, manufacturing sites, or research centers. Within each of our strategic business units, Interns will lead meaningful projects, expand their academic knowledge, and foster collaboration within teams. Post Internship offer acceptance, Interns are matched with openings based on student interest in location, business group, and project details.

PPG offers a 2-year internship program, including students who are in their junior year (2027) and senior year (2026), along with Masters level candidates. Each summer provides the opportunity for students to join a new team and refine skills in their area of focus. Projects can include process improvement, creation of new PPG products, updating current systems, researching best practices, and more. In addition to a manager, each Intern is provided with a mentor for the summer.

The program kicks off with a Spring 2025 Primer Insight Day, an Intern focused program giving selected students the opportunity to build professional skills and engage with top leaders in PPG's businesses and learn about our organization before the formal Internship Program begins. Our 2025 Primer Insight Day will be hosted virtually in the spring of 2025. This afternoon program is designed to help connect students with each other, prepare them for the formal internship program, and set them up for a successful internship.

During our 12 week program, Interns across different business units will participate in meaningful work within their field of study. The program curriculum includes:

• Robust onboarding and first day/week training curriculum designed specifically for Interns
