About The Position

Worthington Steel is hiring a Summer Intern for our EH&S team! Worthington Steel's Summer Internship Program is a 12-week program that starts mid May. We are looking to hire a student who will work 40 hours per week onsite at our Columbus, Ohio headquarters during our Summer Internship Program. Students must be local to the Columbus, Ohio area, as Worthington Steel is not responsible for providing supplemental housing for students. During the 12-week program, interns will spend part of their time completing a business-driven project. These assignments could range from generating ideas for product and/or process improvement, developing a standardized playbook for a specific role or process within the Company. Upon graduation, each intern will present their project to their manager, mentors and members of senior leadership. The interns will spend the remainder of their time receiving additional on-the-job experience and classroom learning. Classes will feature topics such as general business etiquette, resume writing, and interviewing and presenting with confidence. In keeping with Our Philosophy, the program will also feature a community service component.
