Depending on the host cooperative, internship experiences may include:

• Grain operations and marketing
• Cotton and gin operations
• Agronomy, crop production, and soil management
• Farm supply and agricultural retail
• Accounting and administrative operations
• Marketing and communications
• Sales and customer service
• Member and producer relations
• Cooperative meetings, events, and special projects
• Other areas of agricultural cooperative operations

Qualifications:

• Completed at least sophomore-level coursework at a four-year university by the start of the internship
• Cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher
• Interest in agriculture, agribusiness, agricultural cooperatives, or related industries
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Self-motivated, reliable, adaptable, and eager to learn

Students pursuing degrees in agricultural business, agricultural economics, agricultural communications, agronomy, soil science, agricultural leadership, agricultural science, marketing, accounting, or other related areas are encouraged to apply.

All internships are paid. Internship locations and responsibilities vary by host cooperative. Housing availability also varies. TACC will make every effort to help students identify potential housing opportunities when possible, but housing cannot be guaranteed.
