A grant-funded intern is available for this coming Fall semester (Careers in Sustainability Intern). The focus of the internship will be on researching and developing resources for students to gain awareness of BIPOC-identifying individuals working in sustainability.
The education and mentoring plan is as follows:
- Learning Objectives:
- Intern will learn professional communication skills, best practices for outreach, and have the opportunity to develop professional contacts in the field of sustainability
- Intern will develop knowledge and skills in event planning, promotion, and implementation
- Intern will utilize and further develop skills in researching, information literacy, and developing content for targeted audiences
- Intern will be mentored by a career services professional with over nine years of experience teaching professional communication and career management
- Intern will have the opportunity to develop relationships with professional staff and faculty within the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources outside of the classroom
This would be a great opportunity for a student who can demonstrate a strong interest in sustainability but maybe doesn't have a lot of formal experience in the field yet, and/or a student looking to go into the communications side of the industry.
