The Nebraska Corn Board (NCB) has now opened internship application period for six internship experiences beginning in May 2025. The internships vary in location, focus and scope but are designed to provide students with an overview of Nebraska’s corn industry through real-world professional examples and experiences.

Five of the six internships are summer-long experiences, with four based outside Nebraska. There is a new internship addition in 2025, an agriculture broadcasting and digital communications internship being hosted by the Nebraska Rural Radio Association.

“As we enter our 35th year of recruiting interns, we continue to see the necessity and success of the program,” said Brandon Hunnicutt, NCB chair. “Internships provide hands-on experiences, with the opportunity to gain skills that cannot be learned in the classroom. We see new interests, passions and career goals developed through serving as an intern. This past year alone, we have interacted with past Nebraska Corn Board interns who have become fulltime staff at their host organizations; that helps us define the need and success of internships.”

Nebraska Corn internships are open to all college students, with a preference given to students enrolled in colleges or universities located in Nebraska. The application process can be found online at https://nebraskacorn.gov/internships/. The submission deadline is Friday, October 11, 2024.
