Position Overview -
As a Business Services Intern, you'll explore multiple career paths in a field office and gain valuable on-the-job experience within the Accounting, Ag Business Consulting, and Crop Insurance teams.

Interns will work on specific projects or tasks and participate in meetings and presentations relevant to their work. While the intern will formally report to one manager, who will serve as a mentor, we believe broad exposure to our Association makes for a more valuable internship experience, therefore the intern will be working within the various teams mentioned above within our business services department. You will also have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, participate in social events with other interns, and give back to the community.
