Key Project Program
Axalta's InventU provides work experiences that align with our participant’s academic majors. For example, our Corporate Affairs interns have helped create the Axalta employee intranet and our Chemical Engineer interns have helped to identify multiple data correlations in our paint making process that will help improve Axalta’s dispersion manufacturing. Interns at Axalta become an integral part of the business and interact with and take direction from more seasoned employees and leaders. InventU interns apply their “book learnings” to real world challenges throughout their 12-week internship program.
InventU Summer Summit
A key element to Axalta’s InventU program is the annual “InventU Summer Summit,” a week-long conference at Axalta’s global headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. This four-day working session is designed to provide a comfortable, yet professional environment for interns to meet and network with each other, interact with our C-suite and other executives, hear about Axalta’s Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, engage in professional development exercises, and experience the City of Philadelphia. The highlight of the Summit is a friendly competition among the interns as they present ideas to an audience of full-time employees and that address and solve a business challenge faced by Axalta.
