Foster Farms internships are a great opportunity to see who we are and what we do. You will get to work with individuals who have been with the company for several years, as well as those who are just starting their careers. The program allows you a first-hand view of our work, our people, our culture, and our values. Many of our interns have returned to work for us full-time after they have completed their education.

We offer internships in many different areas of our operation. To qualify for our internship program, you must be currently enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student pursuing a related degree, (i.e., Business Administration, Marketing, Information Systems, Animal Science, etc.), and must be available to work full-time during the summer months.

Internships may be offered in California (Livingston, Turlock, Fresno, Porterville), Washington, and Oregon. If you'd like to apply for an internship with Foster Farms, please submit your resume to us using our online form.
