Whether from the East or West Coast, and anywhere in between, Certified Angus Beef (CAB) interns experience the atmosphere of a full-time role while building their resume and portfolio.
CAB opens four internship positions each summer, guiding students as they apply their skills from the classroom in a real-world setting. All positions are geared towards students pursuing a career in agricultural communications, marketing or and digital media.
From their first day to their last, interns are valued members of the team. Experiencing what it’s like to work for the brand, from brainstorming sessions to executing projects.
“We give the interns a lot of autonomy to use their creativity to complete projects,” says Morgan Boecker, CAB producer communications senior manager. “Their managers and other team members are always there and willing to provide direction and intentional feedback, so that each intern walks away with valuable experience and work samples that add to their portfolios.”
The brand encourages upper-level college students who are driven to expand their skills in communications, immerse themselves in meaningful projects and gain career mentors to apply. Selected interns will contribute to news stories, website content, social media posts, photography and videography.
Internships for the upcoming year include:
- The multimedia intern assists with video and photo shoots for campaigns and practices editing skills.
- The marketing intern will be engaging with brand partners and building promotional content for retail and service business use.
- The social media intern monitors social platforms, evaluating analytics and overall consumer engagement.
- The producer communications intern supports communication efforts for cattlemen and women, writing content for digital platforms and Angus Media publications.
What past interns say
The 2025 marketing intern, Grace Greer, from Dalton, Ohio, says she built confidence as she learned and grew her skillset over the summer.
Producer communications intern, Olivia Rooker, says that the summer challenged and refined the skills she learned at Oklahoma State University. It also created an experience that will shape her expectations when she pursues a full-time role after graduation.
“Coming into the summer with a growth mindset set me up for success,” Rooker says. “It allowed me to learn from so many of my peers and gain a deeper appreciation for the brand and the work that goes on behind the scenes to make it what it is today.”
With new projects planned each summer, you get the chance to be involved in several industry events, ranch and partner visits, and contribute to the overall communication and marketing efforts. Often, interns plan and organize projects that are executed by the team after their internship ends.
The Certified Angus Beef atmosphere could easily be described as family, says Alex Ramirez, this year’s social media intern. “Everyone is passionate about their work, and the company culture is one of the most welcoming environments I have worked in.”
