company facilities in Lakeland, FL. Interns are offered competitive pay and

our out-of-town interns. As an intern, you will attend luncheons with
Publix executives, participate in a local community service event, enjoy
several after-work socials, receive performance evaluations twice during
the summer to evaluate your progress, and give an end-of-summer
presentation to a large group of Publix leaders. Interns leave Publix at
the end of the summer knowing they have made a valuable contribution to the
organization with an experience that helps them grow professionally and
personally.
