Quotes:
"Kraft's co-op program is both beneficial for the student and the company. As a former co-op, experiences I gained by the opportunity to work at Kraft for 6 months far exceeded my expectations. In addition to being exposed to a variety of packaging materials, there are also great learnings that come from working with the vast network of cross-functional team members, manufacturing plants and material suppliers. From Kraft's standpoint, we look forward the fresh perspectives of the students. We are able to give the co-ops a full project workload and allow them to deliver and assist the needs of the company. The Packaging organization at Kraft utilizes the co-op program to fill 95% of its entry level new hires. The 6 months spent at Kraft are a great opportunity to see if the student is a good fit for Kraft and/or if Kraft is a good fit for the student."
