Looking for a summer internship at one of the leading specialty chemicals companies in the United States? Evonik's Summer Professional Enrichment (SPE) internship program could be a great opportunity for you.

How will Evonik's SPE help you develop your professional skills?

Here at Evonik, we offer students, who are currently in the process of obtaining their bachelor's or graduate degree, an opportunity to gain valuable professional work experience at one of our locations throughout the United States.
