Paid Internships with the AGI Geoscience Workforce Program - Apply Now

AGI is please to announce two distinct internship opporunities in its Workforce
Program for Summer 2014.

The AGI Workforce Program tracks the supply and demand of geoscientists by
collecting original data and analyzing existing data from Federal and industry
sources, in order to inform the geoscience community of workforce trends and
issues through regular reports. The Workforce Program also engages the next
generation of geoscientists by supporting student 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.
