Students who are pursuing an associates/2-year degree, an undergraduate bachelor’s degree, a graduate master’s degree, or a doctoral degree at an accredited institution with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, or equivalent, are eligible for internships at Zoetis. Students must be at least 18 years of age prior to their scheduled start date and be able to provide verification that they are enrolled in school. Students who are offered internships will need to successfully pass a drug screen and background check.

We encourage students from different backgrounds and nationalities to apply for our internship positions. Where legally allowed, we will indicate whether we can offer visa sponsorship for the role you are applying to. Please indicate on your application any work permit requirements, and let your recruiter know as early as possible in the recruitment process if any immigration support is needed.

Internships generally span 13 weeks starting from the month of May through August. Start and end dates can be flexible. Internships are typically 40 hours/week.

Zoetis internships are paid, unless otherwise noted. Internship pay rates are competitive and depend upon your current class standing and physical work location.

Currently we do not offer a housing allowance. Our competitive compensation should help cover the cost of local housing, if needed. While we do not organize housing arrangements for interns, we do offer informational resources, where available, to help interns more easily locate housing.

Interns are not eligible to participate in company benefits (health insurance, Zoetis Savings Plan, bonuses, paid time off, etc.).
