Nike is drenched in competition and personal potential by its mission “to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete (and if you have a body, you are an athlete) in the world.” The company hit the scene in 1964, started by former track coach Bill Bowerman and track runner/ accounting student Phil Knight. Today, Nike is the largest sports equipment company in the world, with $19.2 billion in revenue. To keep it running smoothly, Nike employs more than 33,000 people worldwide. Its headquarters, dubbed the “Nike World Campus,” sits on a 193 acre, environmentally conscious haven for work and play.

Nike offers internships in many different niches. Depending on your skills and education you can apply for positions in fields such as Brand Marketing, Corporate Functions, Design, Distribution, Merchandising, Engineering, Manufacturing, Retail, Sales, Sports Marketing, or Product Development. Internships are paid and offer many employee benefits such as access to athletic facilities, store discounts, and more.

Most internships take place at the Beaverton, Oregon headquarters, but there are also positions in Nike’s global offices in places like the Netherlands or Hong Kong. The internship sets applicants up for a career fast track. Nike’s main internship program lasts 12-weeks from June to August. It gives interns the opportunity to see and experience Nike from the inside. There are other internships with other time frames listed on Nike’s website, but these are smaller programs.
