Dream Summer Internship At Mars Wrigley Will Pay You to Eat Chocolate and Make Your Own Gum

Mars Wrigley, the masterminds behind your favorite treats like M&M’s, Snickers, Skittles, and Starburst (to name just a few) have created the ultimate summer gig. Called the World’s Sweetest internship, the program runs from May to August, and if you’re lucky enough to be chosen, you’ll get to work at their global headquarters on Goose Island in Chicago. And if you think the perfect internship doesn’t exist, think again. The primary responsibilities of this one include taste-testing candy, giving back to the community, and creating “#BetterMoments.”

In addition to eating candy, interns will get to explore different positions within the company, and coordinate a Mars Volunteer Program Event at the end of the summer. Other perks include having the chance to create a custom batch of chewing gum (nbd), and to create content for the company’s social media accounts. The best part about this internship, though? It’s fully paid. Plus, your sweet tooth will be more than satisfied with a signing bonus of one year’s worth of candy.

According to the job description, they’re looking for inerns who have graduated high school, though a college degree is preferred. You should also be at least 21 years of age as of May 20, 2019 and have a strong passion for candy, chocolate, Chicago, and community.
