Finance Student Program - Manufacturing

STUDENT PROGRAM FORMAT 

This student program will follow a model where students may work remotely during the school year and in-person during the summer. When in-person, students will be based at the Stellantis Headquarters & Technology Center in Auburn Hills, Michigan or a manufacturing facility in the metro Detroit area.  Students are expected to work 24 hours per week, during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Candidates who are selected for the program will work with their manager to determine a consistent weekly work schedule where candidates fulfill the 24-hour requirement, while balancing their class schedule. During the summer months, students may potentially work 40 hours per week. This determination will be at management’s discretion. Student program cohorts start on a quarterly basis in January, April, June, and September, and students are intended to stay in the program until graduation.
