Internship Program
Farmers Coop Society (FCS) has a
well-established and structured summer internship program available
during the summer months of May through August. This internship program
allows for hands-on, real-world experiences in a Cooperative
setting. The program also includes an assigned project for each intern
to work on throughout the summer. The goal of these projects is to
develop agronomy knowledge and skills while providing an opportunity to
creatively take charge of how to present the findings at the end of the
summer.
Our Internship Program goal is to create a hands-on learning experience for anyone who is interested in agronomy, general agriculture, precision agriculture, marketing, grain, feed, and IT. Our internship can be tailored to the intern’s interests and experience level to help maximize the learning experience. It’s a great opportunity for a summer income while also enhancing your real-world agronomy experience and enjoying your time while doing just that.
The FCS Internship Program works side-by-side with our team during the growing season. You will be working closely with an mentor and independently as well. The best part of the program is that you can build your network connections and work experience in the agriculture industry. This allows you to be a more desirable candidate in an increasingly competitive job market after graduation.
