If so, you might be eligible to apply for the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Program (MLEIP)! Learn more below or on the MLEIP webpage.
Getting an internship is a great way to get experience in your field of interest while learning about what the real day-to-day workings are like in an environmental science field. An MLEIP internship is a one-of-a-kind experience that offers undergraduate and graduate college students an unparalleled glimpse into the future of environmental science and conservation, helping them launch their careers.
As an MLEIP intern, you will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with scientific, technical, and business leaders at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, other state agencies, or private industry employers across Texas.
Interns will gain hands-on experience and learn from committed mentors who will challenge you to stretch your skills further than you ever imagined. Ultimately, your MLEIP internship assignment will prepare you for the next important step in your career journey.
The application period is from December 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022. Get more information and apply on TCEQ’s Mickey Leland Environmental Internship page.
