WELCOME WEEK
Get ready to crush it!
Week One
Are you ready for a mind blowing first week? Because that’s what you can expect at Walmart this summer. Interns from all of our major locations are coming to our headquarters in Bentonville to onboard, network, learn, and of course, have fun.
Welcome Party
We're kicking things off with a party at the Bentonville Square. This is your chance to meet and mingle with other interns before a full day of orientation. After dinner, grab some ice-cream at the Spark Café or coffee at Onyx Coffee Lab. And be sure to visit the Walmart Museum to see where it all began.
Shuttles available for non-driving interns. (Hotel to event @ 5:30pm / Event back to hotel @ 8:15pm)

Orientation
What's in store for the summer? What does the future hold for Walmart? Where’s my swag? All of these questions and more will be answered at orientation. You’ll hear from a host of great speakers, learn about the company, connect with your peers, and officially join the family.

Walmart Shareholders
You’ve never seen a corporate meeting like this. Walmart Shareholders is what you get when you mix a business meeting with Coachella. You’ll join thousands of associates from around the world in celebration of our culture and mission. The company’s biggest leaders will be on stage recapping the last year and proclaiming where we’re going next. Plus, previous special guests include Justin Timberlake, James Corden, Reese Witherspoon, Tom Cruise, and Alicia Keys. So there’s that.
Shuttles available for all interns other than Fayetteville-based ones. (Hotel to event @ 5am / Event back to hotel @ ~11am)

Saturday Morning Meeting
Don’t let the name fool you, the post-Shareholders party continues on Saturday morning. You’ll hear from even more business leaders as we dive deeper into the company’s performance and goals for the year.
Note: If you’re interning on one of the coasts, you’ll fly back to that location on Saturday instead so that you have plenty of time to get settled in.
