Unfortunately, due to severe budget restrictions, it isn’t certain yet the extent of the program for next year. The best thing to do is to research the Pathways Program and stay tuned in case ECP does receive full funding.

I’ve emailed the EPA multiple times asking for information regarding the ECP with no response. Alas, the said job listings still have yet to materialize.

I guess this program isn’t happening this year?

I’ve been interested in the Environmental Careers Program for some time and have been carefully watching USA jobs for any listings for it (the website says they will be posted in March and April) but haven’t seen any. I was worried that the program wasn’t available anymore.

Unfortunately I get that question too sometimes. Guess I’ll have to keep blogging till everyone knows our name :-)

I’m looking forward to future posts.

Thanks for responding Claire. The Pathways Program will incorporate some existing internship programs and expand others.

I too am currently involved in a fellowship program at Treasury as an IRS public affairs specialist. So far I’ve had a great experience.

It’s important to note, however, that many of these internship-type programs are undergoing major changes and being folded into Pathway Programs … This should not deter anyone, just an FYI for those who exploring these opportunities.

Peace Corps is a federal job, remember, so after that it was easy to get a job at EPA because I was already a fed.
