“The ACE internship programs provided many great experiences. I had several opportunities to travel with the government, meet hardworking government officials (including the Secretary of Agriculture), and learn a lot about the USDA, working in government, agriculture, and the environment. I would highly recommend the ACE intern program and a career at APHIS to anyone.”
