The Kroger Summer Internship Program

The Kroger Summer Internship Program is a 12-week immersive experience that offers students an opportunity to grow their careers through a variety of focused internship assignments.

Our program offers competitive pay, hands-on learning experiences, company exposure to senior leaders, and professional development opportunities. Spend your summer leading projects, refining your professional skills, working alongside industry leaders, and connecting with other students from across the country.

Our Retail Management interns have the opportunity to work within the retail divisions, in a program designed to provide an overview of store operations, marketing, merchandising, purchasing, supply chain management, financial analysis, and human resources. The internship also offers job shadowing with store management, a designated retail project, and the experience of working as part of an effective team. Our interns will role model and demonstrate the company's core values of respect, honesty, integrity, diversity, inclusion, and safety of others.
