ARAMARK Sustainability Internships



SCA has teamed up with ARAMARK—a leader in food services and facilities management—to offer a broad spectrum of hands-on sustainability internships at universities, K-12 schools, businesses, hospitals, sports stadiums and national park sites nationwide, as well as a few international locations. Jobs may include responsible procurement, sustainable building operations, waste management, nutritional awareness and much more. These internships are designed to provide a career pathway into traditional operational roles throughout ARAMARK, where sustainability expertise is of increasing importance.

It's your turn to learn what it takes to succeed!

"I would never have imagined that I could have a job that incorporates sustainability and large-scale foodservice, but through my sustainable dining internship with ARAMARK I have found a job that I love."
-- Ila Galanti, ARAMARK Registered Dietician at the University of Chicago
 
"I've always had an interest in the environment, but I couldn't see myself as a biologist in the field. I wanted to work in a setting with more practical application, and straddle business and environmental issues. It's awesome that the company [ARAMARK] supports this approach."
-- Caroline Gorham, ARAMARK Sustainability Intern at UNC-Wilmington, later hired as Sustainability Manager at UNC-CH for ARAMARK
