AFE’s new “Employer Resource Guide” was created to help small business owners in the industry build a successful internship program.
Would your company benefit from the work of an intern to support staff and increase overall productivity? Whether you have a need for a professional in marketing, human resources, logistics, sales or communications, the American Floral Endowment (AFE) Business Internship Program has you covered.
The AFE Business Internship Program was created to attract top talent and future leaders to the global floral and horticulture industries. It provides manufacturers, wholesalers/suppliers, importers, retail floral shops and growing operations with aspiring young business leaders.
To date, 66 floral businesses are host employers in the AFE Business Internship Program, including DESIGN MASTER color tool, inc., the Sun Valley Group, the Pennock Company, The Flower Bucket and Strange’s Florists, Greenhouses & Garden Centers.
AFE provides a robust intern sourcing and screening process. A fully vetted candidate is presented for your review and consideration. Internships are full-time (35 to 40 hours per week) for 10 to 12 weeks and are typically performed during the summer.
