Conservation/Sustainability Internships-All Majors Welcome!

Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:00:28 -0500

Every summer, The Nature Conservancy (TNC) hires students to fill over forty PAID internship positions during a 10-week internship. These positions are available throughout the country and provide a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between academics and the work being done in the world of conservation to promote a healthy, sustainable planet.

Interns begin the program with an orientation retreat (travel expenses covered) in which TNC leaders and students come together to share educational, professional and career experiences. Interns have used orientation as a great opportunity to build lifelong friendships, professional contacts and business connections.

Interns are selected based on their eligibility, qualifications and experience level related to the specifics of the job position. Applicants will be notified of the next steps within four weeks after the posting date ends with 2-3 phone interviews to follow for those selected as finalists. Additional information may be required before making a final decision. All applications will be notified of the final selection before mid-March.

Next year’s internship will be from: May 29 – August 10, 2012.

All majors are encouraged to apply. For a presentation on the internship program, please check out the website link below. See attached flyer for interest areas. Recent grads (within two years of graduating) can apply too!

APPLICATION DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 19TH!
