I just got word that we will have the opportunity to hire a summer intern in the Onalaska Field office using our Pathways Internship Program: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/careers/student/. The position is being announced on USAjob.gov. If any of you know anyone who is interested, please let them know of the upcoming announcement. This is a great opportunity to bring geologists into the NRCS. The post will be under GS Series 1399, Grade 3 with promotion potential to a 4. The goal is to bring them on as a Sophomore or Junior in a geology program at an accredited university, so they can be a direct hire if they complete the pathways program and we have funding to have a permanent position at that time.
