Corporate Communications Intern

We are hiring our Corporate Communications intern for summer 2027. This position will focus on upholding and enhancing the Worthington Enterprises brand with internal and external audiences.

The Corporate Communications intern assists in the areas of employee engagement, social media, internal and external websites, research, content development, community engagement and sustainability. The ideal candidate has excellent writing and communication skills, can easily juggle multiple assignments at once and can effectively interact with all levels of the organization. Experience creating visually appealing content in Canva and PowerPoint is preferred.

The intern participates in our Company-wide Summer Internship Experience that helps college students develop professional skills. During this 12-week program, interns spend approximately 80 percent of their time completing a business-driven project. This project could range from generating ideas for product improvement to creating new processes to developing a standardized playbook for a specific role within the Company. At the end of the summer, each intern participates in an intern graduation event where they will present their project to their manager, mentors and members of senior leadership.

Interns will spend the remainder of their time receiving additional on-the-job experience and classroom learning. The internship classes will feature topics from general business etiquette to resume writing, interviewing and presenting with confidence.

In keeping with Our Philosophy, the program will also feature a community service component. Interns are based at our Company headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, where they are encouraged to maximize their experience by working in the office at minimum three days per week.
