A little about us…
All hiring for our 2020 summer internship program has now concluded.
For those interested in an internship during summer 2021,
you can submit interest now!

Real work

During our internships or full-time trainee program, we do not waste time. Whether you're an art intern designing graphic tees or a software engineering intern working on the Kohl's App, you'll be an integrated part of the team on day one. No intern gloves.

Not boring

Sometimes top trainers stop by to do a squat challenge or we have a fashion show in the auditorium. Other times it’s simply volunteering with your team. Work hard, play hard is a concept we know well.

We pay you

How much you say? Competitive doesn’t even cut it. Interns and trainees work 40 hrs/wk for 8-10 weeks over the summer. That’s a lot of dough! Oh, and did we mention more than 70% of our interns are offered a full-time job for after they graduate? How does walking into senior year with a job waiting sound?

We give back

We partner with the community not because we have to, but because we love to. Kohl’s is committed to making a difference; it’s in our DNA. So, when 150 interns spend a day making bookmarks or playing basketball at the Boys and Girls Club, they’re loving every minute of it.

Our recruiting team selects candidates based on their experience, interests and passion.
Step 3
Your final interview will take place in person, typically at the same place your internship is located. Pro Tip: Don't be nervous. (Easy for us to say, right?) We're looking for people with passion and an interest in making a difference in retail and at Kohl's.

See what our associates have to say “The biggest difference between the culture at Kohl's and the other retailing internship I considered was the expression of associate contentedness. Everyone, and I mean everyone, comes to work excited and ready for challenges at Kohl's and that's the type of environment that any aspiring professional would appreciate.”
Bryan M. Merchandise Analyst Intern
See what our associates have to say “One of the main reasons I accepted this internship is because I really appreciate the culture that Kohl's stands for...The supervisors always leave room for open communication and really want to be there to help associates succeed. All of the managers that I interviewed with had such a positive, fun attitudes. They were cracking jokes during the interview and really showed me that companies can have fun and still get their work done.”
Jocelyn S. Leadership Management Intern
See what our associates have to say “I chose Kohl's for my internship because I was so impressed by the people and the culture of Kohl's as I went through interviewing. I also love that Kohl's allows us to work in the fashion industry, but with such high values that are apparent throughout the company. I feel truly lucky to be at a company where people have a life outside of work, but still have the same passion for their products.”
Rachel L. Product Development Intern
