 Special IniativesEnvironmental Internship ProgramIn 1992, the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) began a relationship with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars (TWC) to establish internships focusing on environmental issues. The internship has attracted a diverse group of students from all over the country with an array of majors, including science, political science, computer science, biology, chemistry, international relations, and many more. The internship has provided top students with trainee positions in the environmental field as part of a comprehensive experiential education program. EPA provides orientation, mentoring, resume writing, and many other services to the interns. Additionally, they are offered lectures from prominent leaders in government, and an opportunity to network in the nation's capital. The students are assigned placements in all of EPA's program offices, including air and radiation, solid waste, water, small and disadvantaged business, pesticides, the Administrator's office, as well as many others.
