Jobs and Internships

There’s no better way to explore future career options and make yourself marketable than time on the job. In fact, more than one-third of our students who have full-time jobs secured prior to graduation have previously interned with their future employer. We can help you find the perfect internships to explore career paths and help you put your best foot forward to get your professional life rolling.

Know what you want. Know where to look.

Internships are for exploring career possibilities and gaining real-world experience in advance of landing your first full-time gig. Penn State has a host of resources to help you find both as you prepare for your ag sciences future.

Getting started

Set goals. Make plans. What does your future look like?

Advisers, faculty mentors, and career service professionals are here to help you set goals and think about what you want out of your Penn State experience and beyond. They will help you take charge of your future. (For credit-based internships, see your adviser first.) Be sure to plan early! Recruiting season for jobs and internships begins in the fall.
