Kmart Retail Management Intern - Hialeah, FL - Full-time

You'll get hands-on experience right where the action is-learning retail sales, customer service and merchandise-related skills. This 10-week assignment is designed to give you a feel for the retail industry and the culture of Kmart. Our management interns spend their time working in one of our Kmart retail stores, seeing first-hand what goes into a successful retail business. The internship program is divided into several phases, each lasting from a few days to a few weeks. You'll work directly with an Assistant Store Coach, developing merchandising and leadership skills. You'll rotate through various store functions including receiving, replenishment, loss prevention, in-store support and human resources. This rotation allows you to gain a broad view of the retail industry, all while having an impact on the successful operation and management of a Kmart store. Your training will include formal and informal evaluations. You'll be assigned several challenging projects which will allow you to apply what you've learned in the classroom to a business setting. Your experience will culminate in a special project in which you'll perform a competitive analysis of a department or line of merchandise within the store, assessing its strengths, weaknesses, current trends, productivity and profitability, and comparing it with the competition. Your findings and recommendations will be presented to management in a formal report.
