About you and this role - What you would do in this role
The Leadership Development internship is intended for a select few candidates enrolled in the first year of a full-time MBA program who seek a challenging and accelerated career path to senior business leadership in a global materials science company.
The purpose of the internship is to mutually assess the fit for a full-time position on such a career path. To that end, interns will work in small teams to tackle high-impact, business-related projects aligned with Dow's strategy. Interns are expected to apply their prior work experiences as well as the analytical tools and insights gained from business school to deliver fresh, provocative, and actionable solutions.

To help enable this learning, each intern will also be aligned to senior level leaders as advisors and mentors and will participate in organized networking events.
