Overview

　　Sustainability at Chick-fil-A focuses on 3 areas: Food & Packaging Waste, Natural Resources and Corporate Campus. This Co-Op provides a hands-on opportunity for an undergraduate student to learn about sustainability issues in the food service industry, as well as participate in sustainability strategy and implementation. The co-op aims to provide real-world application to academic learning, focusing on embedding sustainability into an organization.

　　This is anticipated to be a 2 semester Co-Op that can accommodate various semester schedules. Students can start in the Spring, Summer, or Fall and do a non-sequential rotation (every other-semester) OR complete one back-to-back rotation (i.e. Spring and Summer). There is also potential to do a 3rd rotation based on business need. Each of these options consist of full-time semesters with Chick-fil-A. If selected for this Co-Op, the student will discuss their desired start date and rotation schedule with the interview team.

　　Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.
