Every four to five months, Cariloha Headquarters recruits, interviews, hires and trains 20 to 30 new interns to work in select Cariloha stores worldwide.
Side note – the number of operating Cariloha stores has risen to 19 – soon to be 20.
Cariloha recruits its interns from several universities throughout Utah, Idaho and Nevada and receives multiple online requests from interested intern candidates from across the United States.
Once these interns are hired and trained, they work for a period of three to four months in the Cariloha stores alongside general managers and local staffers, assisting with merchandising, marketing, inventory management, selling, and promotional strategies.
It’s true, aside from weekly getaways to the beach or boardwalk, they spend a lot of time on their feet folding shirts, meeting with promotional partners, and mingling with an eclectic international clientele – typical of any tourist-based retail store.
What the Cariloha interns might not be sharing, however, is how much they’re adding to their resumes about optimal inventory levels, brand management, sales growth strategies, attracting new customers, and helping to manage daily operations of multi-million-dollar stores. All in a day’s work for Cariloha’s outstanding interns.
Recently, Cariloha’s graduating class from Pedersen Worldwide University (Cariloha’s parent company training program) put their enthusiasm and product knowledge to the test in a store simulator that allowed them to get their feet wet before heading out to Cariloha stores this month.
From St. Thomas and Key West to Cozumel and San Diego, these 16 intern graduates are the newest additions to the world of Cariloha bamboo goods.
When you see them in Cariloha stores over the next four months, ask them how their internship is coming along. Put them to the test. Help them get the most out of their intern experience.
