The United Family has opened its summer internship application process for full-time college students, recent graduates and others who qualify until the April 1 deadline.
For those applicants who are selected, the internship will run for 10 weeks during the summer months. The positions are also eligible for full-time pay with up to 40 hours per week — this can vary by position. In addition, applicants can apply for an extremely wide range of areas within The United Family like marketing, I.T., accounting, human resources, merchandising, supply chain, finance and more.
“Opportunities for internship applicants are almost limitless with The United Family,” Shannon Miller, EVP of Talent Management for The United Family, said. “There are so many different fields all at work under one roof. Because of that, we can accommodate almost any type of qualified student in a variety of majors.”
Internships are not only a great way to secure real world experience, but they can also lead to real world opportunities.
Stanton Kuehler, a bakery business manager and 7-year team member of The United Family, said his own experience with the summer internship program helped shape the career he has today.
“I did the 10-week summer bakery management internship and during that time I was able to take what I was learning in my classes at Texas Tech and apply them to real-would examples within the bakery department,” he said. “I worked with several important managers during my internship and their coaching and willingness to help me succeed changed my mindset to seeing United as a company I could have a long-term career with.”
