Target generally hires workers who are at least 16 years old for most in-store positions, with some roles requiring 18 or older (for example, certain fulfillment or security-related positions). Availability can vary by state and job type, and certain locations or duties may have additional restrictions. If you’re under 18 or unsure about a specific role, it’s best to check the exact requirements listed in the Target careers page for the position you’re interested in or contact the local store. Direct answer:
- In-store roles: typically minimum age 16.
- Distribution/fulfillment roles or security-related roles: often 18 or older.
- Some locations may have state-specific rules or stricter limits.
