Summary
This opportunity supports agricultural businesses in Colorado seeking to develop the next generation of workers through structured, paid internship experiences. Eligible businesses may include those involved in crop production, livestock, dairy, forestry, greenhouse operations, nursery products, and related agricultural activities. Funding helps offset a portion of the costs associated with employing interns, including eligible wages, workers’ compensation, certain overhead expenses, and other directly related internship costs. The program is designed to strengthen agricultural career pathways by connecting students and beginning farmers or ranchers with practical, hands-on work experience. Participating businesses can receive reimbursement for eligible internships, with support available for multiple interns within program limits. Internships must provide genuine employment opportunities and cannot replace existing employees. The opportunity benefits agricultural employers by helping develop workforce skills, introduce participants to agricultural careers, and build a stronger pipeline of trained workers. Priority is given to opportunities connected to core production and natural-resource-based agricultural activities throughout Colorado.
