The Axalta Internship Program provides a meaningful professional experience for college students and is supported by a hands-on supervisor, a 1-to-1 mentoring relationship with a senior Axalta leader and a day-to-day buddy to help with the daily maneuvering within our company.   To enhance the real-world experience, the Interns are provided with a unique project designed by the functional leadership that possesses true business value.  At the conclusion of the internship the interns are provided an opportunity to establish their own brand through a presentation of “What I Have Learned” to senior leaders sharing the outcomes of their work on the project.
