The Procurement Leadership Development Program (PLDP) Internship is a 12-week program that encompasses functional & professional development, as well as completion of challenging project(s) that deals with strategic business initiatives. Interns will have a formal mentor and may participate in organized activities, including sector immersion events, leadership training and local community service projects to understand the company culture and career opportunities.

Examples of the types of roles and responsibilities the PLDP Intern might include (but are not limited to):

• Research and analytics for category strategy development
