Community Management Internship Program

WalgreensWelcome to the 2016 Internship program!
Walgreens offers a step-by-step 10 week internship program to equip you to work in one of the most exciting and fast-paced retail environments in the nation.

The goal of the internship is for you to determine if a career in retail at Walgreens is for you and for Walgreens to determine if you are a fit for our leadership development programs. And at the end of your internship, you'll have the real-world experience you need to succeed in the Walgreens retail environment and beyond.

Why Walgreens?
Because we champion everyone's right to be Happy and Healthy. And that’s not just a slogan; our actions prove it. We are the nation’s leading retail pharmacy with 31 straight years of record growth and profitability. That kind of track record takes an unwavering commitment to personalized customer and patient care. Through unparalleled convenience, Walgreens demands consistent quality and continual investment in people and technology.
Simply put, we excel at what we do. We are a pharmacy built and run by store managers and pharmacists–from our premier staff of pharmacists, through our exceptional store leaders and up to many of our top executives. We support our pharmacists with PTCB-trained technicians and innovative technology that automates routine tasks and frees up time for patient counseling.

We understand that our future depends on the professionalism and dedication of our store and pharmacy leaders. On building an ongoing relationship with future leaders–like you. On reinforcing and expanding your classroom learning with hands-on experience.

That’s why we’ve put a lot of time and thought into our internship programs. Packed as much learning as possible into a short period of time. Fine-tuned it with years of feedback from interns who have gone on to become successful Walgreens pharmacists, store and pharmacy managers, district and market leaders, and top corporate executives.
