INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Our Internship Programs provide hands-on, purposeful experience with significant responsibilities giving students great resume value and industry insight as they start their career. We know that long-term student success depends on more than training relative to a specific major or job function, so we also offer all Interns:
- Additional training on topics that range from business communication to emotional intelligence to help support the transition from college to career
- Service Opportunities to give back
- Social events to help students meet and have fun with their colleagues
- Generous pay and benefits
CAREER EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Selected students are hired for a great paying Summer job where they work in a primary department (Production, Bakery, or the Contact Center) 4 days/week. One day per week students are paid to explore various departments across the company such as Human Resources, Community Relations, Benefits, Marketing, Creative Marketing Services, Accounting, Purchasing, Internet/E-Commerce, and Inventory Management to gain a better understanding of that department and the jobs associated with that field.
This program is open to high school Juniors & Seniors and college Freshmen & Sophomores.
Upon completion of the program students receive a $400.00 scholarship!
CO-OP PROGRAM
Co-op students work an average of 10 hours/week during the school year in a variety of departments. This work/study program gives students the opportunity to earn money while learning more about the business world. In addition, all Co-op students who complete the program are awarded a scholarship.
CAREER EXPO
Once a year, high school Seniors from more than a dozen schools are invited to spend a day at Colony Brands. The Career Expo exposes them to an array of career paths available right here in Southwest Wisconsin and gives them access to a variety of professionals. All attendees earn a $350 scholarship!
We award over $250,000 annually through these programs!
Our student programs are just one example of the way we empower people to enrich lives.
