OUR PROGRAM

Our program is designed for undergraduate students graduating in 2027. We designed our internship program to be a game-changing first step in kicking off your career journey. During your internship, you will be a part of an intern cohort working at one of our corporate office locations. Our talent team will place you in a department based on your interviews, interests, and skill set. Throughout the program, you will attend business critical meetings, lead projects, gain experience working with cross-functional teams, attend professional trainings, and have the chance to brainstorm with our leadership team. In addition, we will also provide exposure to different brands and departments giving you a larger company overview that can help you determine whether the department is the fit for your career or open the door to other departments you may develop an interest in pursuing. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. places high value on our intern's ideas for our business and our brands. During your internship, you will be given the opportunity to pioneer a new idea for the brand or function you are working for. During the final week of the program, you will present your final project to the executive leadership team. Many of our interns' project proposals have been implemented in new business strategies, as we value the fresh perspective our interns bring to the business.

Of course, we also leave time for a little fun by hosting social and networking opportunities with your fellow interns such as cohort lunches, and social hours.
