Missouri Pork Summer Internship

The Missouri Pork Association is now accepting applications for their 2025 Internship Program. Up to two college students will be selected for the summer period and work full time in the Columbia, Missouri office from mid-May through mid-August. An additional part time internship is available from January through mid-May, and another part-time internship from mid-August through December.

The program allows students to obtain training in a real world setting to develop personal, organizational, and public relations skills and experiences. A variety of duties are assigned to each intern—all with differing levels of responsibility. The MPA Internship Program is open to those who have completed at least two years (four semesters) of college courses. 

Compensation schedules are in line with other comparable programs. The deadline for applications and three letters of recommendation is November 1, 2024.

The summer intern(s) will attend multiple Missouri Youth Show Pig Circuit jackpot shows and plan the fundraising auction, manage the Missouri Youth Pork Institute, Swine Health Symposium and Missouri Pork Classic Golf Tournament, attend Missouri State Fair events, and other duties as they arise.
