Internship programs complement classroom instruction in preparing students for careers in the agribusiness industry. For experiential learning to be an integral part of agribusiness training, the student, industry, and educational institution must each provide input into the design and implementation of the internship program. This article presents a framework for developing and implementing an internship program that emphasizes the interrelationships between agribusiness students, industry, and educators. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
