Smithfield Hog Production Internship-Summer 2019

Smithfield is seeking college students for internships in Summer 2019. An intern will be assigned to a primary location where most of their ‘hands on’ experience will take place. The primary location will be discussed during the Internship application process and should be decided upon before the Intern starts work.

In the primary location the intern will experience a ‘hands on’ experience in all the departments. For example in the Sow Farm Internship an Intern will rotate through the breeding and farrowing department. In the feed mill the departments include receiving, batching and loadout.

Throughout the Internship the Intern can expect to be invited to attend some additional activities which will show him/her other parts of the Smithfield HPD business.
These activities usually take a half to a full day depending on the activity.


During the first week of the Internship an Intern can expect to receive a structured listing of the activities that they will be working on in the primary area. This will be reviewed by Production Management from time to time to make sure the Internship is on track
