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 an encouraging team of co-workers, peers, and supervisors, the program will provide you the opportunity to sharpen your skills and collaborate on a number of strategic projects.

We’re seeking a Marketing Communications Marketing Intern  to join our business in North America for the Summer of 2027 (start date 5.24.2027)  in a full- time capacity ( approx 40 hours per week)  through August  2027 with the possibility to extend the assignment into a part time co op, ( approx 15 hours per week) while they are in school. The extension into Fall 2027 would be based on business needs. You will provide support for North America marketing operations.

What you will be doing

The primary roles and responsibilities of this internship will be:

What sets us apart

Avery Dennison’s Summer Internship & Co-Op Program is unlike any other with its emphasis on networking, community and support.
