Top companies and brands Nike, adidas, Brooks Running, and URBN Outfitters are interested in recruiting and hiring Ducks for their internship programs. But as national programs, these brands begin recruitment early.
That means they also close applications early to ensure top candidates and timing with campuses across the country.
Although at the Lundquist College, we are on a quarter system and career opportunities (jobs and internships) are posted on Handshake throughout the year, there are significant spikes in the early fall term (October) and in early winter term (January and February), as seen in the graph below. Your takeaway? Many opportunities available today will be closing in the next week or two.
If you’re junior standing this fall and studying marketing, analytics, supply chain, operations, or sports business, we want you to be as prepared as possible to apply for these incredible summer internship opportunities with top brands.
(And if you’re not junior standing but you’re interested in exploring an internship or job at one of these companies, they will all be attending our BizCareers in Outdoor, Apparel, and Sustainability so be sure to sign up!)
