We are seeking innovators, collaborators, and problem solvers. Our co-ops do not shy away from a challenge and are looking for a chance to create a real impact with our company.

You will use various automated RFID test systems and RFID printer and reader systems.

What sets us apart

Avery Dennison’s Co-Op Program is unlike any other with its emphasis on networking, community and support. From Day 1, networking is encouraged, promoted and expected within the program. As you are on-boarded with other co-ops and Early Careers Program associates from various tracks, you quickly develop a community  of individuals all committed to make sure you have what it takes to succeed.

A core component of the curriculum is the peer mentoring program. Paired with an Early Careers Associate or program graduate within the organization, the program focuses on the transition from college to corporate, leveraging strengths and defining your early career path.  

In addition as an organization that values diversity and inclusion, we welcome our Co-Op associates to take an active role in our Employee Resource Groups(ERG’s).  ERG’s are a group of employees that help advance and promote diversity, cultural awareness and an inclusive work environment. Some of our ERG’s are Black Employee Resource Group (BERG), Elevate(Women’s Leadership Development), NEO Chinese Association, Unite(LGBT+), Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG) and Voz Latina.
