NIKE Global Sustainability Graduate Internship 2027: Paid 10-Week Graduate Internship in the United States
Overview
The NIKE, Inc. Global Sustainability Graduate Internship is a paid, 10-week program for graduate students, based at NIKE's Philip H. Knight campus in Beaverton, Oregon. Interns work with teams across the company on projects that link sustainability with business, manufacturing, operations and marketplace activity. The internship is aimed at graduate students interested in sustainability, climate and environmental issues, supply chains, operations, analytics, human rights, sustainable materials and compliance, and it is particularly relevant to those pursuing an MBA and/or an Environmental Science graduate degree.
What you will do
Interns are expected to take ownership of one or more projects rather than just observe. The work may involve research, data analysis, stakeholder engagement, problem-solving and strategic recommendations that help move business initiatives forward. Interns work with several stakeholders, analyze complex problems, structure projects, communicate findings to different audiences and turn information into practical business insights.
Areas of work
Interns may work in one or more parts of NIKE's Global Sustainability organization: Climate and Environment, covering climate strategy, environmental impact and emissions; Engagement; Geo Sustainability, linked to particular markets or regions; Marketplace Sustainability; People and Human Rights; Raw Materials and Traceability; Supply Chain Compliance; Sustainable Chemistry; and Sustainability Compliance and Reporting.
Examples of past projects
Previous interns have developed a strategy for including carbon offsets in the company's enterprise climate strategy, researched and written a playbook for raising NIKE's sustainability presence at key running races, and developed a strategy to improve sustainability at North American distribution centers. These show that interns tackle open-ended business questions and produce practical recommendations.
