Franklin Foods Internship Program – Helping Students Get a Head Start in their Careers Franklin interns work collaboratively with the marketing team. Students are empowered to get out from behind the desk and into the field where interns work independently in their own markets executing retail consumer programs. From consumer sampling to working directly with the marketing team to convey product information through social media and press, interns learn the different sides of how consumer and retail products are launched into the market. During an 8-10 week period, students participate in online modules with key Franklin Food team members across marketing, sales, procurement and supply chain, food safety, quality, and manufacturing. Interns get an inside look at the food industry and learn about product development in the dairy industry, working with local farms and suppliers, creating products, managing state-of-the-art production facilities, and developing and implementing best practices in safety and quality. Interns also participate in leadership calls, visit manufacturing plants and corporate HQ, and meet with executives.
