California Milk Advisory Board Sends Tulare Student to Thailand for Internship
The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB) has selected Tulare student, Sofia Borges, for a unique international internship in Thailand. This opportunity, part of CMAB's ongoing efforts to foster global dairy industry connections, will allow Borges to delve into the intricacies of Thailand's dairy sector, gaining invaluable hands-on experience.
Borges, a senior at Tulare High School, expressed her excitement about the internship. 'I am thrilled to represent California and learn about dairy practices in Thailand,' she said. Her journey is set to begin in the summer of 2025, where she will spend two months working closely with local dairy farmers and industry professionals.
The CMAB's initiative is not just about providing students with international experience but also about strengthening ties between California's dairy industry and global markets. John Doe, a spokesperson for the CMAB, emphasized the importance of such programs: 'By sending our young talents abroad, we not only enhance their skills but also promote California dairy on an international stage.'
The internship program is part of a broader strategy by the CMAB to expand the global footprint of California dairy products. This move comes at a time when the dairy industry is facing both opportunities and challenges on the international scene, with Thailand being a key market for expansion.
Borges's internship in Thailand is a testament to the CMAB's commitment to nurturing the next generation of dairy professionals and enhancing global dairy industry collaboration.
