Diversity
Internship Program
The
MMS Pacific Region continually strives to increase diversity in our
workforce by providing leadership and career opportunities to
qualified ethnically diverse and disabled students.
Through the Diversity Internship Program,
MMS works with nonprofit partner organizations to offer qualified
students internship opportunities working within the many Bureaus and
offices nationwide.
The Diversity Internship
Program is made possible through Memoranda of Understanding
between the DOI and various educational organizations, including the
Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities
(HACU) and the
Student Conservation Association (SCA).
The four main objectives
of the internship programs are:
-
to merge academic study
with practical application for students majoring in relevant fields
and related disciplines;
-
to create a consort of
talented students to explore and understand professional practices
through exposure to research and development, technology,
administration and the government environment;
-
to provide professional
experience for ethnically diverse students and students with
disabilities that will enable them to make educated and informed
career choices; and
-
to create a pool of future
employees who have had positive, meaningful work experience with the
federal government, and who might consider federal service as a
serious career choice.
