[July 03, 2023]
The application period is now open for the
FEMA Region 5 Virtual Internship Program, an opportunity for
students living in or attending colleges or universities in
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin to get
hands-on training in the growing field of emergency management.
|
These
unpaid positions will offer students the chance to learn about FEMA
programs and services and gain real-world experience with the
potential for future full-time employment at FEMA or another federal
agency.
“FEMA is best positioned to help people before, during and after
disasters when our workforce reflects the communities we serve,”
said FEMA Region 5 Regional Administrator Tom Sivak. “We’re looking
for energized young people who can offer diverse ideas and
backgrounds, while building critical emergency management skills to
address the increasing disaster risks that threaten our nation now
and in the future.”
Applications for the Fall cohort will be accepted until July 10,
2023, or when 100 applications are received. In general, interns
should plan to work 5-15 hours per week or as directed by their
college/university.
Positions will be available in the following areas:
Disaster response and recovery
Flood risk reduction
Grants
Human resources
Media relations
Individual and community preparedness
