Success Stories
-
What I enjoyed most about interning at American Foods Group is the family culture within every part of the company. AFG was built on family, having strong work ethics, and principles in life. To see a business that’s continuously growing and still carrying those beliefs is something truly special. The people at AFG truly care about the people and the company which I see as a winning equation. Another thing that impresses me is the respect you receive. That helped me grow as an individual and have confidence in what I was doing.

2019 & 2020 -
I enjoyed interning with AFG, because this company designs a true learning environment. I met people from all walks of life the last two years I have interned with AFG and I learned beyond just how to do a job. I learned how to communcate and work with others who are different than me. While learning the processes of how to obtain the products we produce I learned beyond just the meat that was in front of me.
