Greetings from Walt Disney World! The Agricultural Sciences team is looking for college students and recent graduates (who have received their Bachelors degree within 6 months of our internships’ start dates) to participate in our fun and challenging six-month hands-on internship in several different agricultural and science education fields.

We are currently looking for students to fill internships for the Spring 2014 term (January 2014 – June 2014). The deadline to apply is October 2nd.

The Agricultural Sciences Professional Internship Program is designed to provide qualified college students with the opportunity for hands-on work experience in the unique growing areas that are part of Living with The Land, an agricultural attraction at Epcot®.

Responsibilities:

In addition to maintaining the show quality of our growing areas, aquaculture systems or biotechnology lab, interns will spend a significant amount of time leading informative and interactive guest tours through our facilities, along with promoting and selling these tours.

Additional training sessions, classes and meetings will be scheduled throughout the semester.

Interested students should email a cover letter, resume, school transcript, and one letter of recommendation to WDW.EPCOT.Science.Internship@disney.com. Selected students will be interviewed via phone by a Walt Disney World representative to further discuss the internship.
