Those looking to kickstart a career in civil service can apply to be an intern with the Bureau of Land Management.
The department will hire 100 interns nationwide in the next few weeks.
“If chosen for a role in the Pacific Northwest, interns will help to care for 16.1 million acres of public lands,” stated the release. “These locations unfold into a rich tapestry of diverse landscapes, starting where the mighty Columbia River crosses into northeastern Washington from Canada and ending at the lush headwaters of the Chetco River near California.”
Anyone who is 16 years or older, and is enrolled or will soon be enrolled in school, can apply. Interns who successfully complete the program are eligible for positions with the federal government, according to the release.
The BLM is charged with sustaining the health, diversity and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
“The American people rely on the BLM to care for their public land and BLM leaders are committed to building a team that represents all of America,” stated the release.
The BLM is on the hunt for interns in a variety of fields and functions. They include civil engineering, public affairs, information technology, survey, administration, land law examiner, natural resources, land surveyor, wildland fire, GIS, human resources, grant management, contracting, budget and environmental protection.
If someone is interested in more than one category, they are encouraged to apply to several.
The opportunity to apply for the internships will close as early as Wednesday, April 19.
