The primary qualifications for a chemist internship are current enrollment in a college or university chemistry program. Many employers prefer a student pursuing their bachelor’s degree, although some positions require enrollment in a master’s or doctoral program. Fulfilling the responsibilities of a chemist internship requires analytical, research, and documentation skills. Since this is an entry-level training position, employers do not usually expect previous experience. In some cases, schools may have their own requirements. An intern may help research chemical reactions in a laboratory, receive training on safety techniques, test or study various materials, and otherwise prepare for jobs post-graduation.
