Graco manufactures and markets premium equipment to move, measure, control, dispense and spray a wide variety of fluid and powder materials. What does that mean? Well, we pump peanut butter into your jar, and the oil in your car. We glue the soles of your shoes, the glass in your windows and the screen on your phone. We spray the finish on your vehicle, coatings on your pills, the paint on your house and texture on your walls. Graco is part of your daily life. The Graco Intern Program offers more than just work experience—it’s a chance to make an impact. As an intern, you’ll take on projects that matter to the business, contribute to initiatives that drive progress, and develop skills that prepare you for what’s ahead.
