WESTLAKE CHEMICAL offers opportunities for college students studying for specific degrees to become student interns. These opportunities llow students to experience work within the petrochemicls industry. Westlke Chemicl sponsors internship progrms within vriety of deprtments such s Engineering, Opertions, Chemistry, Procurement, Supply Chin, Informtion Technology, Informtion Systems, Accounting nd Humn Resources.
