Careers in Agriculture)
Are you a middle or high school student1 looking for a one-of-a-kind summer internship with an opportunity to live and study on a college campus and improve your résumé for college?
Are you a teacher or parent looking for opportunities to expand your students’ view of agriculture?
Look no further! The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) offers you an opportunity of a lifetime. AgDiscovery is a free summer outreach program to help teenagers explore careers in agricultural sciences. As an AgDiscovery student, you’ll live on a college campus for 2–4
weeks and learn from university professors and USDA experts—plant and animal scientists, biotechnologists, veterinarians, wildlife biologists, administrative professionals, and others. You’ll gain hands-on experience through labs, workshops, and field trips; participate in character- and team-building activities; and join in many other fun and educational
events. It’s a unique chance to get a first-hand look at the many exciting career paths in agriculture.
This year, 21 colleges and universities are participating in AgDiscovery. Each school’s program focuses on a specific area of interest to our Nation’s agriculture, from plant health, entomology, and biotechnology to veterinary science, animal welfare, food science, and agribusiness. Visit the APHIS Careers - Internships, Fellowships and Externships website to learn more.
