It allows them to develop leadership skills, broaden their understanding of the concepts learned in school and "get a taste of the real world" before they are fully committed to it. The Internship program participants will be better able to apply concepts learned in the classroom and will be able to ask more poignant questions of their professors to further their goals and education. The Intern program is one of the primary feeders for entrance into Johnson & Johnson's Finance Leadership Development Program (FLDP).

There are seven weeks of training over the course of the two-year program. Training covers all areas and competencies that are critical to success at J&J
and is delivered through a combination FLDP leadership, J&J executives, Finance management, and external consultants.
