Travel as international volunteer with Arkema
International corporate volunteer programs in many countries
Every year, dozens of European citizens under the age of 28 take part in international corporate volunteer programs and spend six months to two years abroad at one of our locations in Japan, China, the United States or elsewhere.
Taking on a position of responsibility in another country, they achieve three objectives:
- Live a unique experience with colleagues from different cultures.
- Forge a network of contacts and open up international career opportunities.
- Become part of our pre-recruitment pool of candidates.

“At the end of my VIE, I received an internal offer from the Business Unit for my current position as Supply Chain Analyst. I wanted to stay with Arkema to capitalize on the knowledge I'd acquired over the past two years, and to do so within a human, caring and constantly developing company."
