Job description:
Interns in the Large-Scale Agribusiness program will gain practical experience across multiple departments of a commercial farming operation, such as Human Resources, Information Technology, Procurement, Food Safety, and Agritourism. Under the guidance of departmental supervisors and industry professionals, participants will support workforce recruitment and compliance, assist in managing enterprise software and precision agriculture technologies, participate in vendor sourcing and supply chain logistics, conduct food safety inspections and documentation, and help design agritourism and marketing initiatives. Training includes structured on-the-job rotations, Farmer Bootcamp classroom instruction, and online mentoring to ensure a comprehensive learning experience. This internship equips transitioning service members with the technical, business, and leadership skills necessary to pursue post-service careers in agribusiness management, commercial farm operations, food systems, or related industries.
In order to reach the most participants across South Carolina and offer areas of focus in line with their goals, we have created a consortium of agribusinesses across the state. Prospective participants will be interviewed by Palmetto Veterans in Agribusiness program managers to place them in vetted organizations. All participants and hosts will have a bi-weekly check-in by phone or Zoom with Matt, and the final week of interviews and assessments for all participants will take place at Project Victory Gardens.
