Nestle Purina offers three types of programs for students and young professionals to learn and gain work experience.
Internships
As an intern, you’ll combine technical education with applied work experience in your chosen career field. You’ll take on impactful real-world projects, build your presentation skills, strengthen your analytical and leadership abilities, and meet other students from across the country. Bring everything you’ve learned in the classroom into the real world with an immersive internship experience. Contribute to actual projects, learn from accomplished mentors, and gain industry knowledge that you can call upon for years to come. Each of our operating companies have something unique to offer. We have internship opportunities in Public Relations, Finance, Audit, Sales, Marketing (available to MBA first-years), Legal (available to 1L), Sensory Insights, Retail Operations Human Resources, Supply Chain, IT, and more.
Management Development Programs
As a participant, you will train through a rotational style program in your assigned learning hub. Upon successful completion you will be deployed into a leadership position with one of our operating companies. Willingness to relocate within the United States is required of all Leadership Development Program participants. Our Development Programs are designed to elevate your skillset and accelerate your career to a management-level position. You will participate in a tailored, rotational program that helps you develop essential leadership skills while learning end-to-end operations throughout the business.
Apprenticeship Programs
Earn as you learn as a Nestlé apprentice. Our Apprenticeship Programs are a combination of paid work experience and on-the-job mentorship that will prepare you for a successful career. We partner with local colleges and the Department of Labor to create and register our Apprenticeship Programs. The programs focus on the development of soft skills and professionalism, and upon successful completion, you’ll be equipped to take on roles as a world-class professional. If you are a collaborative team player eager to learn, ready to take action, and have the willingness to put in the hours and dedicate your time to your education, then you are the perfect candidate for our apprenticeship program.
