College students encouraged to apply for convention internship

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association is offering college students a unique behind-the-scenes experience through its annual convention internship program.

The 2023 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show, the largest annual meeting of the U.S. beef cattle industry, will take place Feb. 1-3 in New Orleans.

Up to 18 interns will be selected and will be responsible for setting up the demonstration arena, assisting at committee meetings and Cattlemen’s College, participating in the NCBA booth and posting on social media. NCBA will strive to provide students time to maximize industry networking.

Student interns must be able to work Jan. 29 through Feb. 4, provide their own transportation to New Orleans and be at least a junior-level college student at an accredited university at the time of the event.

Applicants must have a minimum 3.0 GPA, preferably have a background in, or working knowledge of, the cattle or beef industry and have experience with social media.

This one-of-a-kind opportunity offers college students the ability to network with industry stakeholders throughout the beef industry and gain valuable experience. Interns also receive a one-year NCBA student membership.

Interested students must complete an online Student Internship Application at https://tinyurl.com/5hfnvdjt and submit college transcripts, two letters of recommendation and a résumé. The application deadline is Oct. 21.
