About this Job

STUDENT INTERN

The purpose of the DEQ Student Internship program is to employ undergraduate and graduate students in fields of study that provide students with work experience and exposure to the environmental regulatory processes and the business operations of a governmental entity. Through this program, students will have increased awareness of environmental matters and encourage students to pursue environmental/governmental careers.

The criteria for eligibility are, students must be:

+ Enrolled full time in an accredited undergraduate or graduate institution.

+ Enrolled part time in their last two semesters in the courses necessary to satisfy graduation requirements.

+ Pursuing an education in a directly related curriculum to the Division that they will be working for (i.e. BS/MS in Biology for OES/Permits, BA in Accounting for Fiscal Services, etc.)

Verification of enrollment from the University will be required upon hire. The verification must be on official University letterhead and include the students name, status (full-time or part-time with the number of hours enrolled), and classification.

Students do not need to be registered during the summer sessions in order to be qualified for student status. However, if they graduate in the spring semester, proof of enrollment for the fall semester must be received in order to continue employment under the internship program. Duration of the program is 8 to 10 weeks, with up to 40 hours worked per week.
