Summer internships open in public policy and events

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) has opened applications for its summer 2025 internship programs. These opportunities include a public policy internship in Washington, D.C., and a meetings and events internship in Centennial, Colorado, both offering hands-on experiences in crucial areas of the beef industry.

NCBA’s public policy internship, in collaboration with the Public Lands Council (PLC), involves tasks such as government advocacy, research, monitoring federal regulations, and engaging with policy stakeholders. This role is vital for those looking to influence agricultural policy and advance the interests of cattle producers on a national level.

The meetings and events internship will allow participants to dive into the logistics of organizing major industry events like NCBA’s annual Summer Business Meeting and CattleCon.

Interns will gain experience in venue coordination, budgeting, and marketing, crucial for successful event management in any sector.

NCBA President-Elect Buck Wehrbein emphasizes the value of these internships: “Our interns perform critical work, and they have the opportunity to learn about how NCBA is at the forefront of defending America’s cattle producers and their legacy.”

Both internships are available to junior, senior, or graduate students with a minimum GPA of 3.0, running from May 19 to August 15, 2025. These roles are not just jobs but a platform for advocacy and professional growth within the agricultural sector.

For those interested in advocating for the beef industry or managing significant events that shape its future, detailed information and applications can be found at ncba.org.
