Position Purpose

This internship will allow students to learn the fundamentals of full-stack development while conducting research and building a prototype to help solve a given business problem.

The OrangeWorks internship is not your typical intern program. We take business challenges from across The Home Depot and ask you to create the solution by exploring how newer or emerging technologies can help move our business forward. You will not only be developing your prototype, but you will also learn about design thinking and be able to practice your presentation skills through sharing your work with your stakeholders.
