Kellogg is progressing toward unleashing our full potential by separating its business into two standalone companies, which will be named “Kellanova” and “WK Kellogg Co.” This transformation will be complete by the end of 2023. This 2024 internship will support Kellanova, a leading company in global snacking, international cereal and noodles, plant-based foods, and North America frozen breakfast. Learn more about our bold next steps at UnleashingOurPotential.com.

As an intern on our Research & Development Team, you’ll be given hands-on experience to help you obtain the skills needed as you prepare for your future as a Food Designer. You’ll be working across different functions to grow your Research & Development skillset. We want to see your passion for excellence and an owner’s mindset that you’ll help challenge current processes and drive business value.

With multiple teams to collaborate with and learn about, your opportunity for growth is endless. This internship will be based out of our office in Battle Creek, Michigan.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?

These events consist of executive exposure, former intern & executive panels, networking events, community activities and much more.

This paid internship requires a 3-month, full-time commitment starting May 2024. Relocation advising and sign-on bonus provided – and did we mention we have plenty of snacks? Travel may be required but will depend on geography and placement. The internship concludes with a final presentation to functional leaders.
