This program funded by Natural Resources Career Development Program (NRCDP) is in collaboration with Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK). The purpose of the agreement is to strengthen the USDA-NRCS diversity recruitment mission by increasing the number of Hispanic college students that qualify and compete for the Pathways Internship and Recent Graduate Program. The goal is to prepare UPRM students forcareers with the USDA-NRCS.
We will accomplish our goal by providing workshops that will facilitate student understanding of the Pathways program, learning how to apply through USAJOBS, and how to build a competitive application to better compete for NRCS internships and permanent jobs. Students will participate in agriculture and natural resources tours during October 2014 in California (tentative dates). Students are expected to apply for Pathways or Recent Graduate Program and if selected participate in one of the paid summer programs.
