Internship Program Summary The Walgreens summer internship program is an experience you won’t forget! Our internship program is focused on you, the student, and building your professional skills and experiences to help you prepare for a transition from student to team member. From professional development activities to hone your skills to networking opportunities to help make new connections, you’ll build a base in navigating a professional environment, all while working on real projects within your primary department that actually impact and support the business! Additionally, you’ll participate in a tour of one of our Chicago flagship store locations, as well as visit a local distribution center to help you see the full impact our areas have to help support our retail stores and drive our commitment to our patients and customers. We know that a happy team member requires a balance between work and social activities, which is why we also have fun events planned to help you get to know your peers, as well as have an opportunity to participate in an impactful community service project.
