Internship Overview
The Home Depot is looking for a highly motivated and organized Human Resources Intern to join the team for Summer 2021! The Home Depot HR Team drives and fosters a company culture of inclusion, passion, and respect that extends beyond our walls. We make the effort to build this environment because we want associates to feel comfortable bringing their whole selves to work.

As part of the 12-week summer internship program, interns will have the opportunity to work on value-add business projects, have assigned managers, teams and mentors, learn from the executive leadership team during mentoring sessions, present to leadership on their project, gain exposure to the in-store environment, tour distribution facilities, and network with other Home Depot interns and associates through various social and business networking events.
