Description

Are you a college student looking for an internship this summer? Are you looking to gain valuable hands-on experience? Do you want to work on challenging projects? If yes, then an internship at Publix may be the perfect fit for you.

Our Summer Internships will occur from May 24th through July 30th at our company facilities in Lakeland, Florida. Interns are offered competitive pay and are generally expected to work onsite 40 hours per week, although this varies by department.

As an intern, you will attend meetings with Publix executives, participate in a local community service event, receive performance evaluations twice during the summer to evaluate your progress, and give an end-of-summer presentation to Publix leaders. Interns leave Publix at the end of the summer knowing they have made a valuable contribution to the organization with an experience that helps them grow professionally and personally.

Providing a safe work environment for our interns is a top priority for Publix. The coronavirus has caused us to modify our annual internship program and as a result, we will not be able to offer housing this summer. Therefore, interns participating in the 2021 program will have to provide their own housing within a commutable distance to our Lakeland corporate office. We expect this situation will only affect the 2021 program and plan to provide housing again beginning with the 2022 summer internship program. Additionally, we will provide CDC best practices training during this summers program orientation that interns will be required to follow to help maintain safe and healthy work and social networking environments.
