About the CDK Global Returnship Program

The CDK Global Returnship Program is a 16-week, full-time, paid fixed-term temporary opportunity designed to help professionals successfully re-engage with the workforce after an extended career break for caregiving purposes. Participants receive meaningful project work, hands-on experience, mentorship, and learning support to help refresh skills and rebuild confidence.
