The Syngenta Crop Protection Sales Intern program is a curriculum-based, integrated learning opportunity that prepares you to be a leader in territory sales in the agriculture industry. Over the course of the 10-week summer program, we will help you develop an understanding of customer needs. As an intern you will engage growers and resellers in solution-based, consultative selling; develop product and technical expertise; refine communication, presentation and leadership skills; and build a thorough understanding of company structure, roles, functions and core values. District managers will coach and mentor to help you achieve development goals for independent account experience.
