About the Role

HP Inc., a global leader in printing, personal computing, software, and services serving over 1 billion customers in 170 countries, is seeking an HR Business Partner Intern for our Spring, Texas location. Innovation is in HP's DNA, from our Palo Alto garage origins in 1939 to today's customer-centric technology solutions that amaze users worldwide. Join our 12-week paid summer internship program, designed for students to apply classroom knowledge to real-world challenges in a flex workstyle environment. This role offers potential conversion to a full-time position (pending performance and headcount), but requires current US work eligibility without future sponsorship needs. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented groups in technology, including African American, Latino, Native American, individuals with disabilities, and Veterans, to foster our diverse and inclusive culture. As an HR Business Partner Intern, you will collaborate with the Business Functions and Technology Strategy lead, HR teams, and managers across groups delivering cutting-edge technology solutions to HP. Dive into the goals, challenges, and needs of these teams, learning how HR strategies drive employee experience, innovation, and talent pipelines. Engage directly with employees through surveys, focus groups, interviews, events, and recognition programs. Lead diversity and inclusion efforts by conducting assessments, crafting action plans, and promoting best practices that align with HP's commitment to a collaborative, visionary workforce. This internship provides hands-on learning in a fast-paced setting, leveraging tools like Microsoft Copilot, PowerBI, and Excel to analyze data and recommend solutions. Network with executives, contribute to impactful projects—no busywork here—and participate in community and fun activities. Gain exposure to how technology impacts people and organizations, building skills for a future at HP where every voice matters in reshaping the world. The pay range is $23-$32 per hour, with comprehensive benefits for those working 20+ hours weekly.
