Read what some of our past co-ops had to say about their experience:
“Johnsonville provided me with a great environment to learn and grow both personally and professionally. As a co-op, I was given meaningful projects that positively impacted the company and my learning experience. I was challenged, but also provided with enough support to help me succeed. I couldn't have asked for a better co-op experience!”
Sarah, Packaging Engineer
"Johnsonville is a wonderful co-op experience, where I feel my work is valuable to the company, and I am trusted by the organization to make decisions. Johnsonville is committed to my learning and development, and that allows for more in-depth look at projects and tasks needed to complete them."
Jacob, Packaging Co-op
“My time at Johnsonville has truly been the most educational time of my life thus far. It allowed me to take all of the theoretical knowledge that I gained through my college education and apply it to real world projects in a real company. I was allowed to be the packaging resource for multiple projects and allowed as much freedom to innovate and experiment as I felt comfortable with. It also was a huge growing experience in the areas of project management and communication……with all areas of Johnsonville as well as many suppliers. The company culture is very open, inclusive and fun to be a part of. I felt at home from the first day I started through my last days and there is not another company I would have spent my internship with.”
