Strengthen your skills and gain invaluable experience in the field of business services with our internship, where you'll work alongside industry experts and contribute to impactful projects!

Horizon Farm Credit is seeking a full-time Business Services Intern for the summer of 2025. The selected candidate will participate in a 10-12-week internship based out of an office within the Horizon Territory. The intern's college residence and hometown will be considered before placement. To view locations, visit Locations | Horizon Farm Credit (horizonfc.com).

Preferred locations include Chambersburg, PA, Lewisburg, PA, Meadville, PA or Reedsville, PA. Summer Intern hours are 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday. Interested candidates should submit a resume, cover letter, and unofficial transcript through the application link by October 31.


Position Overview - As a Business Services Intern, you'll explore multiple career paths in a field office and gain valuable on-the-job experience within the Accounting, Ag Business Consulting, and Crop Insurance teams. As a summer intern, you will take a deep dive into the services provided by these departments, as well as gain additional insight into sales and customer service.

Interns will work on specific projects or tasks and participate in meetings and presentations relevant to their work. While the intern will formally report to one manager, who will serve as a mentor, we believe broad exposure to our Association makes for a more valuable internship experience, therefore the intern will be working within the various teams mentioned above within our business services department.
