Stores Executive Leadership Internship

Experience firsthand what it's like to lead a retail team within a Target store. This internship is a paid 40 hr / week, hands-on training program to develop and prepare for your store leadership. As a Stores Executive Intern, you will get a valuable realistic preview of the Executive Team Leader role (Assistant Store Manager) over a defined period of time. Within this store management internship, you will work closely with other managers and team members to develop an understanding of how Targets retail business works and what it takes to excel in a management role. You will be introduced to multiple areas of the stores business, but the majority of your time will be spent leading amongst the team, identifying and working towards store priorities, and delivering great guest service.

This program is designed to teach individuals how to lead within a retail store amongst the store team :
