This opportunity could also lead to full-time career opportunities upon graduation!
During the 10-week week summer internship program, you will have the opportunity to work side by side with our experienced Store Sales Reps. You will spend your time with your “Mentor” learning the ropes and uncovering what it takes to be a successful Sales professional for Sherwin-Williams Consumer Brands Group.
Your summer will start off with a virtual Opening Kickoff event where you will learn all about the Sherwin-Williams Consumer Brands Group and be introduced to all of the exciting items your summer internship will entail.
While working side by side with your “Mentor” and other Sherwin-Williams Store Sales Reps, you will be introduced and begin to develop aspects in sales, analytics, marketing activations, training, Key Decision Making (KDM) exposure, business acumen and business communication.
