Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 outbreak and adjustments made for employee and public safety, conservation internships will not be filled this summer.
AGFC Internship Program
The AGFC Internship program is designed to help students gain education and practical experience related to the conservation work AGFC performs and to meet hands-on training requirements necessary for students to earn their degree. This training is critical to students pursuing a conservation career and is often the deciding factor in gaining employment after college.
The AGFC Internship program operates under these guidelines:
- Interns are considered Extra Help positions and are subject to all related AGFC policies for Extra Help employment.
- Internships are up to 400 hours and paid an established hourly rate of $12.75 per hour.
- To be eligible for an Internship, applicants must meet the following prerequisites:
- Must have a declared degree in a conservation field.
- Must have 60 hours of college credits earned by the time the Internship begins.
- At the time of application, must be a college student, graduated within the previous 12 months, or currently enrolled in a post-graduate program.
- Must have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
- Intern supervisors are required to provide a conservation education component to the internship.
- Intern supervisors are required to complete an end-of-internship evaluation with the Intern and submit final report to the Human Resources Division.
- Selected interns will coordinate directly with their college or university to obtain course credit for the internship.
