LINCOLN — The Nebraska Corn Board (NCB) has now opened the internship application period for seven internship experiences beginning in May 2026. The internships vary in location, focus and scope but are designed to provide students with an overview of Nebraska’s corn industry through real-world professional experiences.
Five of the seven internships are summer-long experiences, with four based outside the state of Nebraska. Many of the internships are with cooperating partners of NCB. The two positions based with the Nebraska Corn office are yearlong internships.
