This past year, over 1,000 packaging engineering, sales, business, packaging & graphic design, chemical engineer- ing, supply chain management, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and related upcoming graduates and students demonstrated their interest in corrugated packaging careers by posting their resumes in ICPF’s re- sume bank. These initiatives, which included participation by doz- ens of ICPF Corporate Partners, led to record recruiting in 2021, exceeding the annual average of 120 student in- terns and graduates recruited through ICPF resources by 25 percent. It appears the 2022 recruiting cycle will be even more active with over 250 students already posting resumes on ICPF’s career portal in anticipation of apply- ing to 2022 openings. For those firms seeking applicants for current entry level openings, there are December 2021 graduates still available, as well. Now is the time for ICPF Corporate Partners to post summer internships and openings for upcoming 2022 graduates on ICPF’s career portal. If your firm is an ICPF Corporate Partner, your HR team can post student intern- ships and entry level openings for new graduates for free by visiting ICPF’s Career Portal at www.careersincorru- gated.org or by e-mailing info@icpfbox.org.
