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.

Shareholders' Week

Shareholder's MeetingAs 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.

Mentor Me Program

Through 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.
