08 Juni 2022 - 10:30PM
More than two dozen interns from 10 universities will be working in
various departments at H&R Block (NYSE: HRB) this summer as it
welcomes the students to participate in its intern program designed
around four pillars for future career success. The four pillars of
the program are designed to create relevant experiences and
positive engagement, while also providing a fresh perspective on
H&R Block’s company culture and values. The pillars include:
professional development, community giveback, social and
networking.
“We look forward to welcoming students from all across the
country as they participate in our summer program,” said Tiffany
Monroe, chief people and culture officer at H&R Block. “Our
goal is to have interns leave at the end of the summer feeling
confident and career-ready, knowing H&R Block will always be a
home to them, and our culture is at the heart of everything we
do.”
Each area of the internship program is designed to prepare
interns with tangible skills as they prepare to enter the
workforce. These include:
Professional
DevelopmentParticipants of the program will attend
interactive workshops throughout the summer, built around themes
such as resume building, LinkedIn profile optimization, leadership
development, presentation practice and more. Each intern will be
paired with both a hiring manager and young professional mentor at
H&R Block for leadership and guidance throughout the
program.
Education on diversity and belonging
in the workplace will be highlighted through a unique
Belonging@Block workshop, “From College to Corporate: How to
Navigate, Belong and Be Yourself.” Belonging@Block is the company’s
DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) initiative created to foster
a culture where every voice is heard and associates feel safe,
included and inspired.
Community
GivebackInterns will participate in community service
projects at HappyBottoms, Cards for a Cause, Bikes for Goodness
Sake and Harvesters. The interns will also learn about the
importance of community impact and Block’s community impact
platform Make Every Block Better.
Social The
social pillar will reward hard work with experiences like Kansas
City Royals games, which are opportunities for the interns to get
to know each other, and an end of season celebration at Top Golf.
Social events allow interns to connect with each other and their
corporate peers in a fun and relaxed atmosphere
NetworkingInterns
will build connections with all levels of leadership through
team-building activities, executive fireside chats, and a “former
intern” roundtable hosted by associates at H&R Block who have
participated in the program in previous years. Networking will also
occur during team lunches, frequent check-ins, and through an
internal communication tool designed for interns to share their
experiences with others in the program throughout the summer.
