First, visit Nike’s page and then select the area you would like to work in. Note that listings go by country, not state or province. After choosing your location, you will be prompted to answer some basic questions such as “What do you hope to pursue in a career?” and “What traits best describe you?” For each question, you are offered a list of possible answers and you can choose at least three before moving on to the next question. After about five minutes of checking boxes, Nike will provide you with a list that suits both your skill set or major as well as your interests based on your responses.

Where do I go to search for different Nike Internships?

Here, you can search for internships at Nike, as well as its other subsidiaries like Converse and Jordan, using filters on the left-hand side. Be sure to type the keyword “internship.” Otherwise, you may find yourself only seeing jobs and not internship positions.

How else does Nike support students?

The Nike Community Impact Fund

The Nike Community Impact Fund (NCIF) benefits communities through employee-led grants. This program supports local, grassroots organizations that get kids moving because Nike knows that active kids do better. And when kids have an opportunity to fall in love with play and sport, they’re more likely to reach their full potential both on — and off — the court.

The Nike School Innovation Fund

The Nike School Innovation Fund (NSIF) helps students in Oregon reach their full potential by working with school leaders to close the achievement gap and increase high school graduation rates. Nike structured the program so that 90 percent of its funds are invested in helping middle schools and high schools across Oregon implement or expand AVID or college and career-readiness programs, or to invest in culturally specific organizations working directly in schools to help students navigate the system and graduate on time. In partnership with AVID, schools and their districts commit time and resources to implement an elective class for first-generation college-goers and train teachers in proven best practices for student success.

The Nike Student Discount

U.S. college and high school students (who are over the age of 16) can claim a Nike Student Discount and save 10 percent on most items at Nike.com using special verification codes.
