Levi Strauss & Co joined RMI to present their 2022 internship program. The program, spanning 10 weeks, includes a housing stipend, is paid, and may include an offer to return full-time post graduation.

Levi Strauss & Co, headquartered in San Francisco, is a retailer that includes Levi's, Dockers, Signature by Levi Strauss & Co., and Denizen brands. Known for their signature denim, the company works in wholesale, eCommerce, outlet, and their own and operated stores. Focused on genuine activism, voting rights, and sustainability, the company values profits through principals.

Two RMI alumni, Omar Herrera Luna and Pedro Da Silva, joined RMI to present about the Levi Strauss & Co summer internship program. The 10 week internship program starts in June and goes until August. The functions they’re hiring into this summer will be released in the coming months.

Herrera Luna and Da Silva hosted a panel to answer questions about the program after the presentation. Herrera Luna works in the top department as a merchandising assistant and Da Silva works in men’s top/ outerwear as a financial planner for levis.com.

Together Herrera Luna and Da Silva explained the internship program, answering RMI members’ questions throughout the presentation.

One of the key aspects of the program includes a project that all interns work on throughout the 10 weeks. In a group of five to seven interns, the interns work on real life problems that have an impact on the business.

Each project focuses on a specific department, with the intention to expose interns to learn those skills as well as skills from multiple other departments. To further encourage this, interns sometimes work within a different department than their internship. At the conclusion of the project, the interns’ work is displayed at the Intern Expo where all employees and the Global Leadership Team have a chance to see their finished products.

The application process is open to rising juniors and seniors and consists of a written application and an interview. Applications will open around August.
