Finance Internships​

Finance interns are given the opportunity to address relevant business concerns through individual and group assignments across all functions: Business Finance Counsel, Auditing, Tax, Treasury, Financial Planning & Analysis, Data Analytics, Mergers & Acquisitions and Investor Relations.​

During your time as an intern, you will also have opportunities to build your professional network and gain exposure to senior leadership through project work, informational interviews, social events and a formal presentation to the CFO and Finance Executive Leadership Team. ​

Mentorship is also an important part of learning at 3M. Each intern will be paired with a former intern as a buddy to assist in learning. ​

A finance internship is typically 10-12 weeks, starting in May and running through August.

The finance internship program is based at 3M’s global headquarters in Maplewood, MN.​
