Undergraduate Summer Internships: eligibility & how to apply

Who can apply?

• Target describes full-time summer internships and publishes separate pathways for associate buying, finance, inventory, marketing, operations, software engineering, asset protection, store leadership, and UX.
• The program page does not state one universal college-year minimum or compensation package.
• Degree, graduation date, location, schedule, and pay must be checked in the individual opening.

Dates, pay & program timing

Target says applications open in the fall and are reviewed on a rolling basis until positions fill. Use the current job listing for the exact dates and any closing information.
