Internship Balancing the continued adjustment to a new normal with the ongoing talent needs of our organization, we were excited to once again offer a virtual internship experience in 2021. Many of our top performers have come to us through our nationwide intern program, where we actively recruit students from several hundred colleges and universities. Our 2021 intern program saw almost 450 college students –– from 150 different universities across 37 states –– bring energy and new thinking to our business. The 10-week paid internship program combined over 200 corporate and 10 e-commerce fulfillment center interns along with another 225 store interns participating in an 8-week program. Many students will transition to full-time roles, with almost 60% being hired into corporate departments like Merchandising, Marketing, Finance, Human Resources, Technology and Logistics, and over 40% being hired into entry-level store management and e-commerce fulfillment center positions across the nation.
