Ashley Belongia, a dairy science major at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, is participating in the Growmark summer intern program. She is the daughter of Steve and Laurie Belongia, of Suring.
As an intern, Belongia will spend 12 weeks working for Frontier-Servco FS in Stratford. She will complete a special project coordinated through the company.
Belongia and 57 other interns will meet in August at Growmark headquarters in Bloomington, Illinois, to discuss their experiences and present a summary of their projects.
“Our internship program prepares students for real-world experiences in the workforce, providing them hands-on experience working on projects with professionals in their career field of interest,” said Allison Stephey, Growmark university relations manager. “It also allows them to work on developing their networking and other professional soft skills to prepare them for their future career.”
Growmark is a regional cooperative providing agriculture-related products and services and grain marketing in 31 states and Ontario, Canada. Growmark owns the FS trademark, which is used by affiliated member cooperatives.
