[High Point, NC] – WithIt (Women in the Home Furnishings Industry), the leading professional organization dedicated to supporting and mentoring women in the home and furnishings industry, is proud to announce the launch of its new Internship Initiative. This resource aims to bridge the gap between students seeking valuable industry experience and companies eager to mentor and develop the next generation. Whether you are a student or company looking for talent, everyone can take advantage of this free initiative which has been sponsored by Pinnacle Search Partners.
The WithIt Internship Initiative was developed to connect companies in the home and furnishings industry with emerging talent, offering a centralized platform where businesses can easily post opportunities and students can apply with confidence. Many companies in our industry lack formal internship programs and often rely on personal connections to find interns, this initiative helps bridge that gap. Whether you’re looking for part-time market help, a summer intern, an intern for school credit, or even a seasonal assistant for High Point or Las Vegas markets, the WithIt Internship Initiative provides the flexibility to meet your unique needs while giving students valuable real-world experience.
The Internship Board is Now Live!
Students and companies can now visit the WithIt website to upload resumes or internship listings directly to the platform. To access the Internship Board, click here and start connecting with the future of the home furnishings industry.
An internship provides students and young professionals with hands-on experience, industry exposure, and mentorship to help them successfully transition into the home furnishings workforce. The Internship Board allows companies to list internship positions while students can browse opportunities and apply for roles that align with their career goals and geographic location.
WithIt is actively building the infrastructure to support and grow the program, including:
· Hosting a fully functional Internship & Job Board on the WithIt website.
· Creating a toolkit to help companies establish and manage internship programs.
· Engaging with the industry to support and participate in the initiative.
· Resource for companies to build their local pipeline.

WithIt is calling on industry leaders, companies, and educational institutions to support this initiative by posting internships, sponsoring the platform, and mentoring the next generation of home and furnishings professionals. The organization will continue to refine and enhance the program, with future features like a company toolkit and list of university programs across the country.
WithIt encourages all the industry to take part in this free initiative. Companies interested in offering internships and students seeking opportunities can participate by browsing the free Internship Board.
Together, we can create a stronger, more connected future for the home furnishings industry.
