In 2023, Covia relaunched its summer internship program, offering ten-week opportunities in marketing, engineering, operations, and other functional roles to its first cohort of interns. Last year, Covia welcomed another ten college students from across the United States. This impactful initiative yielded positive results, with four interns advancing to full-time positions within the organization.

Now, in the third cohort, we are excited to welcome twelve new interns from notable institutions, including the University of Cincinnati, North Carolina State University, Virginia Tech, the University of Alabama, Cleveland State University, Colorado State University, Purdue University, and the University of Arkansas. As these talented young individuals embark on their three-month journey with Covia, we eagerly anticipate their professional growth across diverse operational and functional departments. The program provides educational and hands-on experiences, fostering connections among peers and with industry professionals during "Thank Goodness It’s Internship Friday" (TGIIF) networking events. We are committed to supporting their development as they prepare for future careers, equipping them with the practical skills and invaluable networking opportunities they need to advance in their professional careers.

Please join us in welcoming Covia's Summer 2025 interns!

Covia

At Covia, we are committed to being more than just a leading provider of high-performance mineral and material solutions – we believe that our company can make a positive difference in the world. This belief is what drives our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, which is influenced by both our journey as an organization and the events in the world around us.

Our commitment to operating as a responsible corporate citizen has been embedded into every aspect of our business for decades and serves as the foundation for Covia’s ESG initiatives. From our operations to our Team Members and the communities in which we live and work, we continue to define WHAT WE’RE MADE OF as more than the materials we produce, but the impact we can make in every interaction.

In 2021, we enhanced our approach toward accelerating ESG performance by developing our formal GOALS THAT INSPIRE: ESG 2030. These 10 goals, broken into our three core areas - Environmental Stewardship, Positive Social Impact and Responsible Governance & Ethics - were developed by Covia Team members across the company and are designed to drive tangible and measurable progress in areas where we can make the most impact.

We have the commitment and strategy in place to drive meaningful progress and we are pledging to make a positive differences for our people, our planet and our communities.
