Overview
At DICK’S Sporting Goods, interns will have the opportunity to work with and learn from the leaders of a growing Fortune 400 company. DICK’S Sporting Goods is returning to campus this year; to recruit, train and develop top collegiate talent into well-rounded merchants.
During the 11-week summer experience, interns will take on meaningful work assignments and make tangible contributions to the organization’s success. This structured and well-organized program provides on-the-job training, classroom instruction, cross-functional departmental exposure, and an end-of-program project presentation.
Here’s what a few of our 2024 Interns had to say:
“The best part was being fully immersed into the HRBP role. I was fully trusted right off the bat to know and maintain confidentiality when it came to overhearing conversations or being a part of the conversation. I also enjoyed learning what it means to have a work-life balance, I was able to destress away from work through experiencing Pittsburgh, playing pickleball, or just having a game night with the other interns. That allowed me to show up at work ready and prepared to work.” - Allison Garris, People & Purpose Intern
“My training manager (TM) did succeed in making my experience feel like I was a full-time analyst on the store analytics team. From assisting with ad-hoc work, to workshopping presentation slides, to working on my final project, the work given to me by my TM was engaging and crucial to a great experience during this internship.” – Lane Miller, Retail Analytics Intern
“If you are passionate about retail, come to DSG. If you are passionate about sports, come to DSG. If you want to inspire others and feel uplifted with your work, the answer is DSG. It was so easy to wake up and be excited to work because the business is doing well and the company works hard to not only do well for themselves but for the athletes they serve.” – Brooke Eyler, Strategy Intern
“I loved the ability to work on a high-impact, meaningful technical project, understand the parts of the business close and far to my area of expertise, work with and learn from a full team of technology professionals, and have a great cohort of other interns to share the journey with.” - Sahil Hosalli, Technology Intern
“My internship has been the biggest learning experience for me so far throughout my career. It has shown me how the corporate world works... I feel much more prepared now for the real world than I did at the beginning of the summer and am much more confident in my abilities and knowledge of the business.” – Ryan Jones, Merchandising Intern
