The future of the cattle business is built on student leaders focused on keeping the industry strong. To be successful, it takes practice. To provide that needed experience, the Illinois Beef Association (IBA) is offering one paid internship and eight scholarships in 2014.
“The IBA internship offers students experience in the industry and the chance to gain real-world
knowledge and experience — a must-have in today’s competitive job market,” said Jill Johnson, IBA director of communications.
The internship provides a college student an outstanding opportunity to assist with IBA’s
communication, events and youth programs. Applicants must consider themselves a self-starter, detail-oriented and an outgoing individual who has the ability to work well with others.
To be eligible, applicants must be a full-time college student and currently an Illinois Junior Beef Association member from a family that is actively involved in beef production. The internship spans from approximately mid-May to mid-August. Applications are due Feb. 15, 2014, and can be submitted to Jill Johnson at jill@illinoisbeef.com.
“Scholarship programs reward students who are passionate about the Illinois cattle industry,”
Johnson said. “We want to recognize the incredible talent and potential among our young
members and encourage them in their educational and professional endeavors.”
The IBA offers four $1,000 general scholarships: two to high school seniors and two to current
college students.
A $3,000 scholarship will be awarded in memory of past IBA Executive Vice President Maralee Johnson and her commitment to the beef and agriculture industry.
IBA will also award a $500 scholarship in memory of Terry Clemons and a $500
scholarship in memory of 1990 IBA Past President Marion Butler.
Residents of Ogle County have the opportunity to apply for a $500 scholarship through the IBA.
