JD Finish Line has made a commitment to developing and promoting internal talent via our Investing in People strategy. We realize that supporting one's journey into their next role requires dedicated learning & development opportunities. To achieve this, we have decided to reimagine our internship program, exclusively allowing our internal talent from Retail Stores, the Distribution Center and Customer Care Call Center teams to participate. This new format will become known as our Corporate Academy (internal internship program), which allows team members to have a program dedicated to growing internally and being successful in corporate positions.
The 10 week internal program allows our employees the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a variety of departments including: Merchandising (Planning & Allocation), Marketing, Digital Operations, Supply Chain, and IT. The 2025 Summer Corporate Academy will begin on June 9, 2025 and will conclude on August 15, 2025. This program will take place 2 times a year - Spring and Summer. Housing will be covered in full. If the candidate selected currently makes less than $13.00 per hour, their pay will be raised to $13.00 per hour while interning. If they make more in their current role, their pay will remain flat.
The Corporate Academy features working in entry level corporate positions, as well as cross-functional training and other great opportunities including:
Informational sessions with executive leadership
Extracurricular networking & professional development activities
Opportunities for one-on-one informational sessions with both new and experienced professionals alike
