Today is the opening of a two-week announcement period for the
prestigious U.S. EPA "EPA Intern Program" -- for a description of the
program and how to apply, see http://www.epa.gov/ohr/eip.html

.......

The EPA Intern Program (EIP) at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) is a comprehensive, entry-level, professional, full-time
employment and career development program. As a program participant, you
will join an intensive two-year program to help you "jump-start" your
career and develop your potential for future advancement within the
Agency.

Attracting and retaining top-notch employees is crucial to the success
of EPA. To foster both their personal and professional growth, EIPers
participate in a two-year EPA familiarization and career development
program. Key components of the program are:

- An Orientation Conference held in Washington, DC, to familiarize new
EIPers with the Agency;

- Multiple rotational assignments, including an opportunity for a
two-month rotation to a different geographic location;

- Individual Development Plans to serve as road maps for professional
and personal development during the program and beyond;

- Site visits and group project to introduce the "hands-on" work of the
Agency, such as research, monitoring, environmental clean-up, community
involvement, compliance, and prevention;

- A Graduation Conference, featuring team training and environmental
studies;

- On-going networking activities.
