Five Latina Smart interns will embark upon a 10-week paid summer internship where they will receive a panoramic view of the fast-paced retail environment at Sears Holdings corporate headquarters in Hoffman Estates, IL.
Interns will document their journey in real time via Latina Smart social media channels as they shadow a series of departments and job functions to gain an understanding of the retail process from business strategy and merchandising to store execution and customer experience. During the 10-week program, interns will be exposed to vendor negotiations, advertising and promotional planning, public relations and marketing activations, inventory turnover, sales and gross margin financial analysis and creative problem solving.
Each Latina Smart intern will receive structured training, personalized career development counseling, experience-enhancing field work and priceless networking opportunities.
