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.
lorem ipsum

Make connections

We're committed to creating a culture where everyone belongs; where diversity and inclusion drive innovation and business results while enabling associates and customers to be their authentic selves every single day. You'll have the opportunity to join one (or more!) of our employee-led Business Resource Groups that support bringing this mission to life.

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?
lorem ipsum

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.

“I chose to intern at Kohl’s because it has an outstanding internship program that is one of the best in the country. I wanted to intern for a successful and reputable company as well as gain as much experience in all aspects of merchandising, consumer behavior, and consumer insights. I have decided to come back and work at Kohl’s full-time because I loved the culture and everybody that I came into contact with was nice and helpful whenever I had questions.”
Heath J.
Assistant Merchant Intern
“I absolutely fell in love with the culture at Kohl’s during my time as an intern! Everyone is so encouraging towards one another, and I never felt even the slightest lack of support. I gained a deep understanding of the company’s values, and it’s clear how many opportunities there are for growth and development. I truly could not think of a better place to start my career & I can’t wait to return!”
Brynn V.
Finance Intern
“I had a great time during my internship at Kohl's for several reasons. First and foremost, I felt respected and supported during my time there thanks to the company's open and inclusive atmosphere. The people I worked with, including my mentors and coworkers, were not just competent but also amiable and ready to support my development. My excellent experience was greatly enhanced by this collaborative environment. In addition, the internship gave me significant and vital duties, which made it a gratifying experience because I learned useful skills and got industry insights. Overall, Kohl's' culture, people, and opportunities made my internship a rewarding and educational experience.”

Store Intern

You can submit interest right from this site! Navigate to the job category page and role that you are interested in and click that specific link to submit interest for that role. 

It's never too early to start thinking about where you want to intern! Because our internship program is conversion-based (we offer most interns full time jobs when they complete their summer here) we are looking for students who will intern between their Junior and Senior years.

If you are a freshman or sophomore and interested in an internship at Kohl's, we would still love for you to come talk with us on campus and learn more about our positions and our annual Emerging Talent Summit! (See more details about our Summit on the homepage). 

All of Kohl's internships take place during the summer months starting the first week of June. Interns working in a Kohl's Store will have an eight week internship and all other internships are ten weeks long. 

Yes! All internship programs at Kohl's are paid positions.

Yes, absolutely! We just ask that your campus contacts reach out to us directly and we can provide the information necessary for you to get credit. Once you accept your position, you can connect with your Recruiter about this. 

Kohl’s can not hire students into Internships or Full Time Programs that require Sponsorship now or in the future. This includes CPT, OPT, and STEM OPT which eventually require sponsorship for continued employment authorizations in the future (e.g, H-1B visa).
