Bridgestone Leadership Development Internship Program
With over 43,000 employees, Bridgestone Americas, Inc., eclipses its nearest competitor in the
industry. And this means BIG opportunities for people who want to develop their career at the
world’s largest tire and rubber organization.
Just how big are the opportunities available?
It's up to you. Most of our senior teammates have grown their careers through internal
promotional opportunities as our focus is on developing strong talent to create future leaders.
We have one of the highest retention rates of any retailer in any industry and Bridgestone
Americas is committed to providing you the resources and infrastructure needed to be your best.
The Bridgestone Leadership Development Internship Program allows you exposure to our core
business unit, Retail Operations. Our ten week internship is paid ($15 an hour) and will begin in
June of 2015. You will have the opportunity to learn operations management, marketing,
financial analysis, product knowledge, leadership development and our overall business strategy.
The internship program will be a combination of group training and individual development.
You will spend orientation with the entire internship class to allow collaboration and
teambuilding while learning the foundation of our business. During your experience at one of
our 2200 locations across the United States, you will be given an internship project allowing you
to lead one of the most important days of our summer program, the Grass Roots Sales Event.
The store experience will be a mixture of hands on training, leadership exposure, and customer
analytics, to thoroughly prepare you for your final project.
Upon completion of the internship, top participants will be presented offers for the Bridgestone
Leadership Development Program, and will be invited to our corporate office in Nashville,
Tennessee, to meet our executive team and learn more about our innovative and dynamic culture.
The BLDP will begin in June of 2015, and all participants must complete their degree and be
available to begin employment at this time.
