About the program:
PPGprime is a highly selective program with a primary goal of developing PPG’s future leaders. The program starts with Primers, a freshman focused program giving selected students the opportunity to build professional skills and engage with top leaders in PPG’s businesses. This multi- day program is held once a year at our global headquarters in Pittsburgh. Selected students from Primers will be able to choose an internship or co-op track giving them the opportunity to assume real responsibilities and gain work experience. Within each of our different businesses, participants are given challenging work projects designed to expose students to different opportunities and stretch their academic knowledge.
