Deadline For College Summer Internship Applications December 31

ROLLA, Mo.  – Current college students, or individuals who have been accepted for college enrollment, interested in Mark Twain National Forest summer job internships have until  December 31, 2009 to file applications.

Every yr, USDA Forest Service offers summer internships combining academic studies with on-the-job experience related to the student’s academic major.

The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) may also lead to a full-time US Forest Service job.

College students must meet SCEP program requirements and positions matching their experience and expertise have to be available at the time of graduation.

Participants will also be asked to agree to move to accept a job, which opens them to potential jobs in 195 forests around the country, Alaska and Puerto Rico.

 “The idea is to hopefully expose potential employees to work with the agency so that when they graduate, they will continue their careers with the Forest Service,” said Jane Mobley, Mark Twain National Forest’s Manpower Development Specialist.

Applications include a copy of the student’s college transcript, a resume, an application form and resume.

 Forms are available at http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/employment/SCEP_er.doc
