Role Specific Information

Overview
The Leadership Management Internship at a Kohl’s eCommerce Fulfillment Center (EFC) or Retail Distribution Center (RDC) provides a challenging ten week experience during which you will obtain hands-on experience in the many facets of distribution operations. From Distribution to Operations to Developing a Team, as a Leadership Management Intern you will be exposed to the behind the scenes of managing a high volume online fulfillment center. Learn how a Kohls.com order goes from the click of a button to our Customer’s front door or to one of our brick and mortar stores.
The internship takes place inside one of our four EFC’s across the country where you will not only learn about the distribution process and building operations, but you will also learn about our most powerful asset: Our People. You will interact with, learn about, and engage with many different types of personalities. Learn how to have courageous conversations, navigate peer to peer relationships, and how to lead and inspire teams (what we do best at Kohl's)!

What is an eCommerce Fulfillment Center (EFC)?
EFCs are busy environments that service the needs of our customers from the comfort of their own home through Kohls.com. As online business continues to grow and evolve, so do our EFCs. See what changes we’re making to not only stay in the game but to keep winning. Develop your inner leader, meet great people, and come have fun with us in Summer 2026.
