• Research, gather, analyze, and organize data to support People & Culture projects, reporting, and operational initiatives
• Support the management of incoming applications, leads, and candidate or associate information

• Review, maintain, and update content and data within HR systems and platforms

Throughout the 11-week internship, as a part of the Embark program, interns will also participate in workshops and events that align with the program's four pillars:

Professional Development: includes the basics for a professional role, everything from using Microsoft Office to setting up a Teams meeting and giving a presentation.

Giveback: involves participating in Make Every Block Better community service events. The goal is to teach the importance of community, make an impact, and provide bonding time for teams.

Networking: entails meeting various executives with offices at H&R Block's headquarters, having lunch with directors and vice presidents, spending time with a mentor and getting to know people beyond their assigned department.

Connected Culture: is meant to be fun and teach the importance of working hard and playing hard. H&R Block might take the interns to a Kansas City Royals game or facilitate other competitions meant to be fun or instill teamwork.
