2026 Manufacturing Kettering CoOp

Stellantis Co-Op Program This co-op program will follow an in-person model. Co-ops will be based at our North American Headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI or one of our Metro Detroit manufacturing locations and are expected to work on-site five days per week during work rotations. Co-ops will rotate aligned with the Kettering University co-op schedule. Applications are accepted year-round, and co-op cohorts start on a quarterly basis until graduation. The co-op program offers a unique alternative to traditional internships by providing co-ops with the opportunity to work year-round throughout their academic journey. This continuous engagement allows co-ops to apply their classroom learning in real-world settings on a daily basis, fostering deeper integration within their teams and organizations. As they progress through the program, co-ops are empowered to take on increasing levels of responsibility, gaining valuable experience, and making meaningful contributions along the way. Co-ops will be assigned to a department based on the candidate's background and skill set. The assignments are project-oriented, meaningful to the department, and allow the co-op to provide valuable contributions. Co-ops experience a sense of personal accomplishment and learn about the corporate business culture through work assignments, structured activities, and exclusive student networking events. Co-op program benefits include exposure to cutting-edge projects and technologies, a collaborative work environment, mentorship from experienced professionals, networking opportunities with peers and leaders, skill development workshops, and paid US holidays.
