For Juniors, we offer the Kraft Heinz Intern Program. This is a 10-week long summer internship program. Interns will start with a week of onboarding at our Chicago HQ office then dive immediately into a robust project. Throughout the summer you will also get to work on Excel challenges and functional case studies from different areas of the business so you can explore your interests further.

For graduating Seniors, we offer the Kraft Heinz Trainee Program. This is a 10-month rotational program that ends in a full-time placement within the company. We set our trainees up for success right from the get-go with a robust 4-week business overview and training with the entire cohort. After the first 4 weeks the trainees will then rotate into two 4-month long rotations – one in a field location (i.e. Sales offices, plants, distribution centers, etc.), and one in our HQ office in Chicago. Our trainees are seen as one of the most important talent pipelines at the company.
