  • One week of final presentations and closing reflections with our senior leadership

  • Weekly sessions to deep dive into our values, grow as leaders, and develop a deeper understanding of our industry and strategic plans for growth

  • Mentorship from previous MBA Leadership Program participants and senior leadership

Throughout the ten weeks, Interns can also expect opportunities to:

  • Meet our CEO, North America President, Chief People Officer, and other senior executives

  • Participate in full-company engagements, including Town Halls, Business Resource Group event, and volunteering opportunities.

  • Join networking events to grow as a cohort, meet the Kraft Heinz MBA community and enjoy the beautiful summer in Chicago!
