Who can apply?

  • The posting targets undergraduate students graduating between December 2027 and June 2028, which Cardinal Health describes as students entering their senior year. Use the graduation dates rather than a class label as the controlling rule.
  • Business administration, logistics, supply chain, management or an operations-related field is preferred. The listing also seeks analytical, communication and leadership evidence but does not publish a GPA minimum.
  • Candidates need unlimited US work authorization without present or future employer sponsorship and must be comfortable working directly on a warehouse floor in Atlanta.
Easy to miss

This is on-site distribution-center work, not a remote corporate operations internship. The warehouse-floor requirement is part of the role.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Operations work is strongest when you can see the process. Map a course, job, club or volunteer workflow from input to output and identify one delay, error or wasted step you helped reduce.

Expect the physical workplace to matter. The posting is not an office-only analysis role; show that you can communicate with the people doing the work and turn observations into a practical recommendation.
