The USPOULTRY Foundation is now accepting company sign-ups for the 2026 College Student Career Program, held in conjunction with the 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE).

For decades, the College Student Career Program has played a vital role in connecting poultry industry employers with talented students, fostering workforce development and strengthening the industry’s future. It is one of the largest career events of its kind for students seeking professions in the poultry and egg industry.

The three-day program will take place Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 27, through noon on Thursday, Jan. 29, in Atlanta. More than 600 students from colleges and universities across the country are expected to participate.

The College Student Career Program connects bright, motivated college students seeking careers in the poultry and egg industry with human resource managers and recruiters. For more than 50 years, the program has served as an efficient and effective way for companies to meet and hire the next generation of industry leaders.

USPOULTRY, the Meat Institute, the American Feed Industry Association, poultry, meat and feed producer member companies, as well as allied industry companies, are invited to participate. The event provides access to a diverse pool of students representing a wide range of majors, including poultry and animal science, agricultural engineering and technology, agribusiness, food science, business, supply chain management, biosystems engineering and more.

Confirmed interviewers will receive complimentary IPPE registration. Companies are encouraged to register early, as space is limited.
