NPPC’s internship program is a hands-on experience for students seeking to learn more about agriculture, the pork industry, government relations and public policy. Interns have the opportunity to work under the direction of the highly respected professionals at NPPC. Senior staff members value the opportunity to mentor and teach today’s student who will be tomorrow’s leaders.

Located one block from the Capitol building, the NPPC Washington Public Policy Center is in the heart of the political action on Capitol Hill. NPPC interns have opportunities for professional networking with congressional staff, allied industry trade associations and federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency. If you have an interest in promoting American agriculture and want to gain real-world experience in the political arena, this is the opportunity for you!

In addition to an unparalleled experience, our distinguished internship program offers a competitive stipend. While we do not pay for housing, we can provide students with a list of nearby options.
