USPOULTRY Foundation brings Latin American students to 2022 IPPE

As part of the USPOULTRY Foundation's continued efforts to support the recruitment and training of the brightest students and to promote careers in the poultry and egg industry, domestically and globally, students and advisors from seven universities in Latin America were invited to the 2022 International Poultry Expo (IPE), part of the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE).

This year's IPPE was held in Atlanta, Georgia, the United States.

The students participated in the USPOULTRY Foundation International Student Program, enabling them to interact with companies that have global operations. They were also afforded the opportunity to explore the vast IPPE trade show floor to see the exciting technology used in today's modern, sustainable poultry industry.

Additionally, the students participated in the Latin American Poultry Summit, sponsored by the IPE and the Asociación Latinoamericana de Avicultura (ALA), where they were recognised.

"ALA has assisted the USPOULTRY Foundation with the selection of the Latin American universities attending the USPOULTRY Foundation International Student Program for three years. We are pleased to be able to contribute to the Foundation's efforts to bring the best and brightest Latin American students to explore opportunities in the global poultry industry," said Juana Galvan, executive director of ALA.

"Several interviewing companies at IPPE have locations outside of the United States and are looking for students to fill positions in various countries," said Greg Hinton, chairman of the USPOULTRY Foundation. "We are pleased to offer companies an opportunity to meet and talk with these international students."
