This program specifically targets students who are between their junior and senior years, serving as a pipeline for potential full-time employment. Interns will participate in a structured program designed to enhance their understanding of Cardinal Health and the healthcare industry while developing essential leadership skills. Upon successful completion of the internship, students will have the opportunity to interview for full-time positions within the company.

The program includes networking opportunities with key business leaders through an “Executive Speaker Series” and various formal and informal networking events. Cardinal Health is committed to maintaining a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment. Interns will have access to seven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that provide a platform for sharing interests and ideas, enhancing engagement with the global customer base and workforce.
