Each week, our interns come together for inspiring Learning Day seminars and activities.

These collaborative and comprehensive strength-building days set our interns up for professional success and provide them with tools for their future endeavors.

Interns are fully integrated into our business departments across the entire enterprise and assigned to meaningful and impactful projects solving real business problems faced by our company. Each intern is assigned a hiring manager and a mentor. In addition to the work our interns do within their respective departments, our interns also all work together on one large internship project. Each graduate student leads an intern team assigned to a particular aspect (Marketing, Finance, or Technology) of a real business solution project. The internship project is presented to the CEO and executive team at the end of the internship program and the results may have an impact on a real consumer product for the company.
