This Guide does not pretend to cover every job in the environmental arena, but it intends to provide information about general career tracks. Students should be aware that they can gain work experience in many different environmental organizations either at the local, state or federal level, in the private or nonprofit sectors. The EPA is just one of the many organizations in which students can apply for internships or jobs to learn more about the environment. The materials in this Guide are based primarily on existing EPA jobs. Any references to salary are estimates only.
Actual salaries are dependent upon the type and geographic location of that position.
The following fact sheets were designed to assist environmental career speakers who are addressing students. Speakers who use these fact sheets are encouraged to tailor this material to meet their specific strengths and the needs of the audience. Talking points and overhead transparencies are also available for speakers. Please call or write the EPA Human Resources Office in your geographic area of interest for information about the following programs. Please direct your questions to the EPA Human Resources Office in your geographic area of interest.
