Advance Auto Parts is more than just an auto parts store — we’re a recognized leader in the automotive aftermarket industry. As part of our commitment to innovation and growth, we’re excited to welcome a new cohort of interns to join our team.
This 10-week paid internship offers students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across various areas of our business. The program begins with a comprehensive orientation week, where interns will learn about our company’s history, values, and culture, while connecting with team members across the organization. Each intern will be paired with a dedicated mentor to provide guidance and support throughout the program.
Interns will then transition into their assigned functional teams, where they’ll actively contribute to meaningful projects aligned with key business initiatives. This is not a job shadowing experience — it’s a chance to make a real impact, collaborate with professionals, and immerse yourself in our dynamic workplace.
The program fosters a fun, team-oriented environment, encouraging strong peer relationships and professional development. At the conclusion of the internship, participants will present their project outcomes and proposed solutions to senior leaders, offering valuable exposure to executive-level decision-making.
