About the Pearl Summer Internship Program
Designed for students who are passionate about music, marketing, and creative industries, the Pearl Summer Internship Program provides real-world exposure to the marketing and distribution of percussion instruments across the United States. Interns are placed within Pearl’s Marketing and Sales departments, where they contribute to key product lines including Drumset, Marching Percussion, Concert Percussion, and Hand Percussion.
Participants gain valuable insights into brand strategy, product promotion, and industry operations, helping them build a strong foundation for future careers. With only a limited number of internship spots available each summer, the program remains highly selective and rewarding for those chosen.
