The Program

Green Thumb Industries’ Intern Program offers students meaningful, hands-on experience in the dynamic cannabis industry. Interns are embedded within teams across Marketing, Buying, Supply Chain and Sales, contributing to meaningful day-to-day work and gaining practical exposure to how GTI operates. Each intern will also own a strategic summer project, aligned to our commercial goals, where you will have the opportunity to influence our growing business. Throughout the 12-week program, interns are paired with a dedicated Intern Manager and participate in a thoughtfully curated calendar of professional development and social events.

Program highlights include:

• Touring our cultivation and production facilities
• Joining our sales team for in-market account visits
• Testing and providing feedback on new product innovations
• Attending a live, “real-world” marketing activation

In July, the full intern class comes together for our company-wide Summer Sesh event, an opportunity to connect in person with fellow interns and employees from across the organization. The experience culminates during the final week, when interns present their summer projects to a panel of commercial leaders.
