Real World Experience Compliments Classroom Learning
United Farmers Cooperative's internships are designed to give students an opportunity to complement their formal education with career-related experiences. Gaining real world experiences also helps the participants to make more informed career choices, which will result in higher job satisfaction and higher productivity.
Our internships are paid programs that coordinate with the students' schooling. Summer internships are available along with shorter seasonal internships.
