ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE PARTNERSHIP (ESP) PROGRAM
STUDENT INTERNSHIPS
Secured funds to hire 4 Environmental Careers Organization Program interns from JSU. Created research projects for the interns which included: Arsenic Analysis using Field Techniques (EPA Lab); Implementation of Methyl Mercury Analysis (EPA Lab); Field Engineer/Scientist Rotation (EPA Lab); Lead-Based Paint Rotation (Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division- Lead Based Paint Program Assistance and Certification); and more.
Developed Summer Intern Program for JSU Interns, as well as other summer hires, to enrich their career experiences and to help the interns advance academically. An intern orientation, Brownfields Field Trip, Brown Bag sessions from each EPA media, Team Building Training, Professional Image workshop, and the Federal Careers workshop are just a few of the many activities developed to enrich the interns professional experience with the agency.
On March 23, 2004, EPA Region 4 Human Resources Office met with over 35 JSU students and provided information on Summer Hire positions and Federal Career Internships. Region 4 will also visit the school again to conduct training on the EPA EZHire system. This system is an automated application which allows applicants to view advertised positions and apply online.
