If you know a sophomore or Junior level student who could be interested to get an internship at Syngenta. Please read the following information.
I am writing to inform you that we are initiating our recruiting efforts for our 2016 Florida Intern Program. As you are aware, our interns play a primary role in supporting our key brands in the Florida citrus industry. Their field activities provide the key link between Syngenta and our growers, while helping ensure optimal product performance.
Summer of 2015, was a success in supporting the Syngenta Citrus Portfolio by providing scouting, root mass sampling and phytophthora analysis. Our expanded services in the field were an important key to this summer’s success, which have only increased in their value to growers over time. We are proud of the fact that 2015 marked our internship’s 25th anniversary, a milestone that serves as testament to the success and value of the program to both Syngenta and the industry.
Our 2016 marketing plans are underway and include plans for further market growth of our brands. Our internship program will be the conduit for providing these important services and they will be a fundamental part of our overall marketing strategy. With this being said, I would like to provide a list of intern qualifications. These are not meant to be exclusive, but rather to help narrow our search.
