Reebok is the original fitness brand. Fitness is who we are.
We pioneered a fitness movement and we are still pioneering today. Every day we are creating products for those who love fitness as much as we do; products that allow you to get every ounce out of your work-out, run, walk, yoga, step or dance class.
We believe fitness is a way of life… that as humans we were made to move. Movement not only makes your body stronger, it makes you the best possible you…body, mind and spirit.
At Reebok, our employees embrace this mission and are encouraged to reach for their fitness goals – as well as their career and personal goals. It’s part of the fabric of who we are and what we stand for.
At the Reebok Global Headquarters in Canton, Massachusetts, we’re not defined by a sport or a season, but by a way of life. From early morning runs to lunchtime workouts to biking and hiking through the local Blue Hills Reservation, fitness is what wakes us up in the morning, what we think about all day, and what drives us toward tomorrow.
Our state-of-the-art headquarters is equipped with a three-story Fitness & Wellness Center, outdoor sports fields, CrossFit box, barber shop, a gourmet cafeteria, and discounted employee store. Located right outside of Boston, we are a short drive to New England’s beaches and mountains, making it a premier place to work and play.
We are looking for talented designers for our paid 1-year post-graduate training program (Apprenticeship) for 2016-2017. This program will provide graduates with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in assisting our Design teams. Apprentices will learn what it is like working for an exciting Global Design organization and will be part of a dynamic team charged with creating innovation for the Reebok brand.
