Seed Production Intern-001C6

Description

Seed Production Interns get hands-on experience at a North American seed production facility. Interns are assigned to Mentors who outline tasks, assist in role and project assignment and project completion. Interns are involved in fundamental aspects of operations during their employment to gain valuable process knowledge for future career opportunities. There are several functions that offer intern experiences. Generally, daily activities will likely include field activities such as performing field inspections and generating and recording data and site activities like performing facility and equipment maintenance, data entry, analysis, and reporting. Specifically, Seed Production daily activities likely include detasseling, and inventory activities such as receiving and counting product returns, reworking product, and quality sampling and testing. Pre-foundation daily activities likely include aiding in all aspects of hand pollination for breeder seed increases.

All interns will have an opportunity to participate in a cross functional experience by visiting another seed production site for a different crop, a research site, or even spend some time with a sales rep. Interns may be asked to perform a specific project assignment in addition to daily operational responsibilities. A re-cap of the intern experience and the results of any project assigned will be presented to an audience of other interns and Team Leads at the conclusion of the term. Upon completion of the term, interns, mentors, and site managers will be asked for feedback on the program and any project assignments.
