Summer 2023 Internship Programs
Lettuce Entertain You is currently offering two Internship Programs. Both Level 1 and Level 2 will consist of an educational portion which will run May 30 through August 1, 2023, approximately 10 weeks in length. As for the practical portion (working in the restaurant) the intern and general manager will come up with a mutually agreed upon start and end date.
