AGI is pleased to announce two distinct (PAID!) internship opportunities in its Workforce Program for Summer 2014.
The AGI Workforce Program tracks the supple and demand of geoscientists by collection original data and analyzing existing data from Federal and industry coerces, in order to inform the geoscience community of workforce trends and issues though regular reports. The Workforce Program also engages the next generation of geoscientists by supporting students recruitment at the college level and by communicating with students, faculty, and non-academic professionals about making the transition into the geoscience workforce after graduation.
