I am looking for internship or mentorship opportunities in agriculture specifically. Is anyone out there aware of programs that offer training or mentorship to beginning farmers or horticulturalists?

I am currently working on a degree in soil science at UT - Knoxville. I have found that internship and mentorship programs are prevalent in almost every industry. However, finding programs that offer the services I am looking for are few and far between.

Robert-
Thanks for your service!
You might want to check out the various opportunities offered for Veterans by the USDA:

Also, since your program of study is in soil science, you might want to explore internship opportunities through STEM programs, which are prevalent across Government and Industry. Here's one example sponsored by DoD:

Here's another DoD opportunity specifically targeting Veteran participants that would include your area of study related to environmental science:

I hope this helps. Good luck and thanks again!
