ABOUT ABBOTT
Every year we host hundreds of interns from the world’s leading universities. Our chosen interns have demonstrated academic excellence, strong leadership, communication skills and technical excellence in their respective fields. Interns have the opportunity to work in functions that include engineering, science, finance, information technology and marketing. Our internships offer flexible 10-12 week assignments during the summer, adjusted to your academic calendar and the needs of individual businesses. Candidates must be eligible to work in the U.S. without Abbott sponsorship, be enrolled in a major in a related discipline, and possess a willingness to travel and be placed anywhere throughout the United States.
From the beginning, our interns work on meaningful, challenging projects with direct impact on our business.
Interns have regular access to senior leadership and the opportunity to grow and learn from the best each day.
We invest in future leaders. We provide interns with targeted training, a global intern community and the opportunity to create their own networks that they can leverage for decades.
We champion leadership, and we offer benefits that help interns lead fuller lives both inside and outside of the office.
Our internship program was recognized as one of the Top 10 Best Internships, including being ranked the #1 in Healthcare and Technology & Engineering.
“Some of the best aspects of this internship were networking with executives at the company, along with meeting other interns from around the country ... There are plenty of other benefits such as competitive pay, flexible hours, kind coworkers, access to career development sessions, and the option to travel to a different location for a summer.”
“The program really puts an emphasis on intern development, which is great because it allows the interns to grow as well as work. It also provides a lot of opportunities for interns to network and talk to other leaders within the company and gain different perspectives.”
“The access interns have to upper management from Division Vice Presidents to Corporate Officers and even to the CFO and CEO is incredible. Also, the assignments are all meaningful and have a direct impact on the day-to-day operations of the company. The projects given to each intern give them the ability to shine by going above and beyond what they are asked to do for a specific project.”
