NCBA accepting applications for spring 2025 interns

“Interning at NCBA is a fantastic learning opportunity and a great way to jumpstart your career in the cattle industry,” said NCBA President-Elect Buck Wehrbein, a Nebraska cattle producer. “Interns perform critical work that supports our advocacy efforts in Washington, our producer education programs, and our industry-focused meetings and events, including the annual cattle industry convention. I encourage you to apply to these internship opportunities and see how your skills might help the American cattle and beef industry.”

The public policy internship in Washington, D.C. supports the work of NCBA’s Government Affairs team. Public policy interns conduct legislative research, monitor congressional and federal agency activity, and prepare briefing materials. This internship is also conducted in conjunction with the Public Lands Council, offering interns an opportunity to also learn about public lands ranching in addition to the rest of the cattle industry.

The meetings and events internship in Denver, CO assists with planning major cattle industry events including the annual cattle industry convention and summer business meeting.

The producer education and sustainability internship in Denver, CO assists in the development and release of educational materials to cattle producers, execution of the Beef Quality Assurance program, and research and communications support for cattle industry sustainability initiatives.
