CIM Internship Spotlight: Colton at Euclid Chemical
🔍 What connects plant operations, customer needs, and technical concrete products? Colton is exploring all three.
To close out our CIM Internship Spotlight series, meet Colton, who is spending the summer interning with Euclid Chemical.
Colton saw the internship as an opportunity to build on what he has already learned in CIM while working alongside program patrons and graduates. He’s especially interested in customer operations and plant management—and in seeing how different businesses manage their facilities and use Euclid’s products in real-world applications. Because Euclid works with a wide range of customers, Colton is gaining a broader view of the industry. He’s learning how customer needs can vary from one company to another and how products such as admixtures, fibers, and other construction materials support different applications.
He’s also seeing one of the biggest differences between classroom learning and field experience: the pace. In the field, problems develop quickly, and professionals must communicate clearly, adapt, and make decisions in real time. That experience is helping Colton strengthen his communication, decision-making, and adaptability while building professional connections throughout the concrete and construction industries. These are skills he hopes to carry into future management roles.
His internship brings together the hands-on and technical sides of the industry, giving him a more complete understanding of how products, operations, customers, and people connect.
Four students. Four companies. Four different ways to build experience beyond the classroom.
