This study, observed changes in awareness of agricultural work and employment of students who participated in the agricultural internship, and considered the screening effect of the agricultural internship. The information obtained at the agricultural internship destination was “the characteristics of duties in agricultural work,” “the physical work environment,” “the human work environment,” “the management characteristics,” “the vision” and “the treatment.” This information influenced students’ employment awareness towards agricultural internship farmers. Based on the place of employment that students desired after their internship experience, they were classified into three groups: I. agricultural selection, II. agriculture and other professions selections, and III. other professions selections. In Group I, there are students who chose agriculture because they knew it was worthwhile and enjoyable. On the other hand, in Group III, there were some who did not choose agriculture due to the negative information of “the characteristics of duties in agricultural work” and “the physical work environment.” The study found that agricultural internship may have a screening effect on the agricultural internship farmers and agriculture.
