Since 2011, the Central Valley Ag Internship Program has provided college students with the opportunity to gain real-world experience, explore careers in agriculture, and build relationships with professionals across the cooperative.

At CVA, our interns aren't here just to observe—they become part of the team. During our

10-week summer internship program

, students gain hands-on experience, take on meaningful projects, develop professional skills, and discover where a career in agriculture can take them.

Our internship program is also an important part of building CVA's future. We want to get to know the next generation of agricultural leaders, help them grow, and create opportunities for talented interns to return to CVA as

full-time employees after graduation

.
