WASHINGTON – Today, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) announced that applications are now open for two internships that give students an opportunity to support the cattle industry and gain valuable experience. The programs include a public policy internship and a meetings and events internship.

“Interning at NCBA is a great way to start your career and the work you do will have a positive impact on America’s hardworking farmers and ranchers,” said NCBA Vice President Gene Copenhaver, a Virginia cattle producer. “As a longtime member of NCBA, I know how important the work of this association is. We are always looking for the best and brightest to join us, and I encourage you to apply for these internship opportunities and see how your skills could support the U.S. cattle industry.”

The public policy internship, based in Washington, D.C., is held in conjunction with the Public Lands Council and gives students an opportunity to learn about government relations and advocacy on behalf of the cattle industry. Public policy interns support NCBA’s Government Affairs team and assist in representing cattle producers in our nation’s capital.

The meetings and events internship, based in Denver, CO, provides students with the chance to learn about managing large events like NCBA’s annual convention and summer business meeting. Meetings and events interns learn about event marketing, registration, sponsorship sales, supplier relations, and overall event production.

Both internship applications are now open and available on the careers page of ncba.org. Internships begin in August 2024 and end in December 2024. Applications are due by May 31, 2024.
