Graduate Personal & Professional Development
Interns can take part in the many developmental activities we offer to our full-time associates. Here is a look at some of the programs that will help interns throughout their internship with Walmart. Touring the Distribution Centers (DCs) Interns get to experience many things about Walmart, including the opportunity to tour the two local distribution centers we have in Bentonville, Ark. At these distribution centers (DCs), interns learn which type of products each DC takes to each store, how they transport products efficiently and how the equipment and tracking systems work. This is a great opportunity to see how Walmart operates behind the scenes.
Visiting the Innovation LabMany leading technology companies, such as Microsoft, Apple and IBM, come to Walmart’s Innovation Lab to showcase technology no one else has seen. Interns have the opportunity to visit the lab throughout their internship to see the latest in cutting-edge technology. Shareholders' Week As an intern you have the unique opportunity to participate in Walmart’s Shareholders' Week. The week consist of concert events open to associates and the public, designed to engage, develop and grow the company culture. Walmart’s international associates, as well as visitors from across the company enjoy the week, attending supplier fairs, touring Walmart’s Home Office in Bentonville and the Walton 5 & 10 Visitors' Center.

Intern Development DayCampus Relations plans a half-day for the interns to go to the Walton Life Fitness Center. Interns can play games such as volleyball, basketball and wallyball. It is a day of team-building that helps interns meet each other and interact with those from different departments. Mentor Me ProgramThrough this program the interns are provided a mentor who is a full-time associate and usually has worked for Walmart for several years. The mentor will help his/her intern explore options at Walmart, set goals for the internship, discuss career aspirations and set up job shadows. Most importantly, the mentor lends a helping hand whenever needed. Executive Speaker Series
