The Opportunity

Endless opportunities abound at Walmart to jump start your post-college career via the summer internship in the Accounting & Finance Development Program (AFDP). We are searching for exceptional students with leadership potential for our highly developmental internship that has the opportunity to result in a full-time position in our rigorous two-year rotational program upon graduation. Each year, only the top candidates are selected to receive an invitation to join the AFDP and launch their career in an accelerated development program that places their career on a fast track at the world's largest retailer. The AFDP has two distinct tracks:

• Finance & Strategy Track: As an intern, finance track participants will be placed in a Commercial Finance team supporting areas such as Strategy, Operations, Merchandising, Supply Chain, Marketing, Real Estate, and Forecasting, Planning & Analysis (FP&A). Full-time AFDPs will complete at least three of four 6-month rotations within the Commercial Finance organization with the option to complete one 6-month rotation within Controllership or Audit.
• Accounting Track: As an intern, accounting track participants will be placed in a Controllership or Audit team. Full-time AFDP participants will complete two 6-month rotations in Controllership and two 6-month rotations in Audit. Controllership areas include GCO (External Reporting, GIC, Consolidation) and Segment (International, Walmart US, Sam's Club or Corporate).

The Internship

During the fast-paced 10-week internship, you will work on challenging and innovative, strategically relevant projects that drive our business forward and create value for our customers. You will also be immersed directly into the regular activities for one of our Commercial Finance, or Controllership, or Audit teams supporting various areas of the organization, including Strategy, Operations, Merchandising, Treasury, Controller's Office, Audit, Supply Chain, Marketing, Real Estate, and Forecasting, Planning & Analysis (FP&A) in one of our business segments: Walmart US, Sam's Club, International, or Corporate.

Successful completion of the internship program provides a direct opportunity to secure placement in the full-time program.
