Our NRCS work opportunities for bilingual interns combine indoor and outdoor work based on selected students' diverse career goals.

USDA-NRCS field offices in the United States and Puerto Rico select candidates that meet their needs and interests. Students will be working closely and under the supervision of NRCS scientists, from wildlife biologists to GIS specialists, who develop the tools to implement conservation rooted in science and based on cutting-edge technology.

• Observe and participate in the programs and services as well as interact and participate in training. 

• Participate and contribute to the Cultivar Learning Network (CLN) via our online learning platform.

• Share a presentation at the end of the internship with the Asekia team and their cohort peers.

​

• Complete 40 hours per week for 6 weeks

TRAINING AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT:

As an NRCS employee, the interns' work will support NRCS's conservation mission. NRCS offices supporting this program are eager to develop strong, long-term, and, in many cases, permanent relationships between the NRCS staff, the farmers, and the new, bilingual agricultural professionals. Employee development, training, and promotion are essential for these state offices and leaders to achieve NRCS's critical mission.
