Question: I am interested in a coop or internship position, where do I apply?

Response: 3M hosts intern and coop students in a variety of disciplines and studies.  Our coop program is not formalized to specific positions or schools; instead, 3M creates temporary opportunities as our business need for resources changes.

Where we do have a coop or intern requirement, we will post our opportunity at the Career Centre or Coop office of your Canadian Post-Secondary Institution along with application instructions.  We invite you to apply to these positions via your school's coop application process.

 

Question: I am interested in a summer employment opportunity at 3M Canada, how do I apply?

Response: As part of our commitment to our employees and their families, 3M Canada reserves most summer positions for dependants of 3M employees. 

3M does periodically host intern and coop students when our business requirements demand a temporary resource.  When coop and intern opportunities arise, we will post our position at the Career Centre or Coop office of your Canadian Post-Secondary Institution along with application instructions.  We invite you to apply to these positions via your school's coop application process.
