THE CFP INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

In 2024, Columbia Forest Products proudly introduced the CFP Internship Experience, a dynamic program designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world application within our manufacturing facilities.

This initiative offers students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience while contributing to continuous improvement projects across the company. The internship allows students to immerse themselves in their chosen professional fields, gaining valuable skills and building meaningful connections that will benefit them as they prepare for their future careers.

Interns are encouraged to set personal and professional goals for their internship, culminating in a formal presentation to Columbia’s Leadership Team at the conclusion of the program. This presentation allows interns to showcase their achievements, insights, and contributions during their time with the company.
