To enhance leadership skills, each intern also participates on a planning committee. At the end of the summer, each intern will showcase their work in a presentation to business leaders.

Networking: Interns learn from key business leaders through the "Executive Speaker Series". They also have the opportunity to network with other professionals through formal and informal networking events.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Maintaining and fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment is essential to Cardinal Health.

We strive to ensure that every employee feels welcomed, supported, and valued as a vital part of our organization. Interns have access to our 7 Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) where employees can find a place to share interests, passions, and ideas that help us engage more effectively with our global customers and workforce.

Development: Interns participate in a formal one-on-one mentoring program.  Interns will connect with employees across the business and participate in professional workshops to enhance their business acumen. They are also able to explore full-time career paths throughout their internship experience.
