The 2027 GCC Internship: Experience More. Build Your Future.
Nov 13, 2026
By Annie Gerber, Talent & Partnership Coordinator
At GCC, investing in the future of agriculture means investing in the people who will carry it forward. That’s why the GCC Internship is designed to give students an inside look at the many moving parts of a farmer-owned cooperative while helping them build skills for their future careers.
The 2027 GCC Internship is a unique two-phase experience that combines professional development, project-based work and hands-on experience across GCC’s divisions.
Phase One | Spring 2027 | Skill Up
The internship begins part-time and remotely with a focus on professional development and career readiness. Interns will work on projects involving data entry, reporting, event planning and marketing while learning how to communicate and collaborate in a professional environment.
Phase Two | Summer 2027 | Show Out
The experience moves to full-time, on-site work in Garden City for the summer. Interns will rotate across the organization through Grain, Agronomy, Energy and Shared Services, providing a well-rounded look at the different areas of GCC and how they work together to serve members.
That experience could mean shadowing employees, sitting in on customer meetings, learning industry-specific software or even working the scale during harvest to see firsthand how grain moves through the cooperative and how those transactions connect to accounting and operations.
Throughout the internship, students will also have opportunities to work with mentors and connect with GCC leadership.
From shadowing employees and attending customer meetings to working the scale during harvest, interns will have opportunities to experience the day-to-day operations of a cooperative firsthand. They’ll also work with mentors, connect with senior leadership and gain experience with industry-specific software and systems.
An agricultural background isn't required. The program is designed for students who are curious, willing to learn and interested in exploring the many career paths connected to agriculture and cooperatives.
For GCC, the internship is about more than filling a summer position. It’s an opportunity to introduce students to cooperative agriculture, develop future professionals and give the next generation a firsthand look at the people and operations behind the services our members rely on.
Know a student who may be a good fit? Share the GCC Internship opportunity with them. It’s one more way GCC can connect the next generation with agriculture, business and the cooperative difference.
