Nestlé Internship Program

The Nestlé Internship Program offers paid placements of three to six months across the world’s largest food and beverage company, in functions from marketing, sales and supply chain to engineering, quality, finance and nutrition science. With operations in more than 180 countries, openings appear close to home for most readers, including regular programs in Pakistan, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt and the Gulf.

Each country posts vacancies on its own calendar throughout the year on the Nestlé careers site, and strong interns are routinely funneled into graduate and management trainee programs. A tailored application to a specific function beats a generic one every time.

• Enrollment or recent graduation in a relevant field for the chosen function.
• Local language plus English at working level for most markets.
