AUSTIN, Minn., Oct. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hormel Foods
Corporation (NYSE: HRL) is pleased to announce that it has
received numerous accolades for its internship program. The company
was ranked No. 38 on the 2021 ranking of 100 Best Internships by
Vault. In addition, Hormel Foods made Vault's 2021 Best Internships
for Employment Prospects list (coming in at No. 18), the 2021 Best
Internships for Sales & Marketing list (coming in at No. 4),
and the Best Retail & Consumer Products Internships list
(coming in at No. 4).
"We're honored to once again make the list of 100 Best
Internships by Vault, especially during a year of such
uncertainty," said Amy Sheehan,
director of talent acquisition, human resources, Hormel Foods. "Our
company never wavered on our commitment to the interns, and worked
diligently to provide the best virtual internship experience
possible in the summer of 2020. The interns were provided with
virtual networking sessions with senior leaders, weekly events with
different divisions, and lunch-and-learn sessions where they were
exposed to different areas of the company. Though many of the
interns weren't able to experience our company culture in person,
the overwhelming feedback was that the experiences they were given
throughout the summer provided them with great insight about the
company. We even expect our full-time acceptance rate to exceed
prior years."
To compile the ranking, this past summer Vault surveyed more
than 11,000 current and former interns from more than 100
internship programs. Vault's 100 Best Internships list reflects the
highest-rated internship programs across the survey pool.
"We're thrilled to make Vault's list of 100 Best Internships
again this year," said Katie Lenway,
supervisor of recruitment, human resources, Hormel Foods. "We're
currently recruiting for interns to start with us over the summer
of 2021 for our manufacturing facilities, sales offices and
corporate locations. Students looking to gain hands-on experience
managing key company projects, and who want to make a difference in
feeding families around the world can view our current openings and
apply at hormelfoods.com/careers."
