, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE: HRL), a Fortune 500 global branded food company, announced today that it was again recognized by Vault as having one of the top 150 internship programs in the nation.

“It’s such an honor to be recognized for our outstanding internship program,” said Angie Bissen, director of talent acquisition at Hormel Foods. “We hosted nearly 100 college students from 50 different universities last summer and worked hard to provide them with a best-in-class, hands-on experience managing key projects for the company.”
Vault surveyed participating interns asking them to rate their experiences in specific areas including:
- Overall career development (including four separate ratings for training and mentoring, quality of assignments, real-life experience, networking opportunities),
- Employment prospects (opportunity to obtain a full-time job with this organization),
- Quality of life (company culture, hours, work-life balance, flexibility),
- Compensation and benefits.
Hormel Foods has a long-standing track record of hiring interns to full-time positions following their graduations.
