AGRICULTURE EXPERIENCE
Cooperative Education Internship
This program is recommended for either Career or Transfer students who desire on-the-job experience in their specialized area of agriculture. This allows the student to apply what they have learned in the classroom to real life situations. In most cases, the student receives income for their work, while receiving credit toward completion of a degree.
Most cooperative education internships are conducted during the summer between the freshman and sophomore year. Some students have internships while they are attending classes on campus during their sophomore year if their internship is within reasonable driving distance.
A student will not be permitted to return to his/her home farm or a previous employer’s farm or business for the cooperative education internship experience. Placement will be made in the best interest of the student and the cooperative employer.
