Talon Internship with the Angus Foundation
The Talon Internship is an opportunity for youth to learn firsthand about managing and operating day-to-day life on a ranch, and, in turn, participating host Angus breeders have a hand in mentoring the next generation. This paid internship offers students real world ranch experience.
Internship duties, depending on the host breeder’s program, may include tasks that range from helping prepare show cattle, AI-ing, preg checking, veterinary tasks, as well as feeding, fence maintenance, irrigation and more. Interns may also have the opportunity to participate in other Angus and beef cattle educational events and activities off the farm such as conferences and field days.

5 Steps to Build Your Network
Informational Interviews are great for students looking for ways to explore careers before taking on a long-term commitment like a three-month internship, or who are looking for insider information that will help them make important career decisions.
The 5 Steps to Build Your Network course will take students through the steps of identifying professionals and preparing for and conducting an informational interview. They can jump in and move quickly or take their time. There no quizzes, just the information and structure they need to feel confident moving forward.
