“We’ve had internships for decades, but traditionally they’ve been department- or project-based,” said Jennifer Gullo, Coca-Cola UNITED Talent Acquisition Director. “We are working to formalize our college internship program, keeping students in a peer group so they can learn the entirety of our organization together.”

The eight-week paid summer program provides participants the opportunity to rotate throughout each department within Coca-Cola UNITED, in addition to spending two weeks shadowing in a department that aligns with their field of study. They also take part in weekly professional development workshops. The program is open to students from any college or university, and those selected are placed within UNITED’s six-state territory.

Applications for Summer 2025 will be available online in mid-December.
