GROWING THE GOODNESS
Meet Blue Diamond ’s 2023 Summer Interns!
This summer, Blue Diamond was joined by 16 college interns participating in a 12-week internship program. The Blue Diamond Intern Program creates a unique development experience through meaningful, project-based work, cohort group meetings, development sessions, team building events, field and site tours, and regular coaching. We’re excited to share that over the years, several of our interns have been hired as full-time Blue Diamond team members following their internship. That says a lot about the excellent caliber of our interns and the quality of their experience at Blue Diamond . The 2023 class of interns will be integrated with our teams in Corporate Communications, Engineering, Finance, Government Affairs, IT, Logistics, Maintenance, Manufacturing, Marketing, Operations, Process Improvement, Procurement, Project Management, Supply Chain and Sustainability. They will gain valuable insight into the almond industry while learning new marketable skills and developing key relationships within their teams.
