About the Internship Program
The Ceramic and Glass Industry Foundation (CGIF) offers a summer internship. The internship program is typically best suited for undergraduate students who are pursuing journalism, communications, marketing, public relations, or videography, but the preferences of the foundation vary each cycle.

Each summer internship cycle typically lasts about 12 weeks, typically in a hybrid format. The position is paid and interns typically work 25 hours per week. A CGIF intern should be highly motivated and self-starting with the abilities to collaborate and adapt.
Background

"This internship has opened my eyes to the world of materials science and taught me a lot about working for a nonprofit. A lot of the skills I developed over the last 8 months helped me get my post grad job at a nonprofit in Chicago. I am very thankful for the opportunity and will continue to expand on these skills as I grow in my career."
