Working for the National Pork Producers Council
The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) is the global voice for the U.S. pork industry working daily to protect the livelihoods of pork producers by fighting for reasonable legislation and regulation and developing revenue and market opportunities. Our mission is to add significant value to pork producers and industry investors by achieving favorable laws and regulations that help them operate successful businesses and compete effectively and profitably in the global marketplace.

NPPC’s internship program is a hands-on experience for students seeking to learn more about the pork industry, government relations, international trade and public policy. Interns have the opportunity to work under the direction of the highly respected professionals at NPPC.
