Please join Leslie Janecka at Merrick Room 202. She is an internship Coordinator, of the Kentucky Equine Management Internship Program as she presents this amazing opportunity to students interested in the world of Kentucky Thoroughbred farms.
The Kentucky Equine Management Internship (KEMI) program is dedicated to improving the opportunities for college students wishing to pursue a career in the field of equine management. KEMI offers a comprehensive educational experience for students enrolled for academic credit through a sponsoring college or university, or for recent graduates of such institutions.
Through the internship, students integrate academic studies with practical experience, leadership, and responsibility as a contributing participant on a Central Kentucky horse farm. Aside from farm commitments, students are introduced into a network of equine professionals representing multifaceted careers in the equine profession. During the first week of the course, students participate in Orientation activities as a group. After the first week, students are employed full-time by participating in farms where they become familiar with the day-to-day management of horses on commercial thoroughbred farms.
