'Getting Going with Biochar' is the name that occurred to me when I wanted a name for an orientation internship program for young agricultural students. What started as an attempt to hire a couple of student interns, turned into a highly subscribed and applied-for internship program. We ended up interviewing over 100 participants and expanded the online internship program to engage 40 young minds on Biochar. We offered different time slots each week for the participants to get together on GMeet, and share their week’s learnings. Many heard about Biochar for the first time through this internship. Many made their first-ever batch of Biochar at their homes and farms. During weekly calls, the participants interacted with experts in the Biochar field like Dr. Sai Bhaskar Reddy Nakka, from Geo Spirit, Kathleen Draper Former Board Chair of IBI, Flo Oberhofer from PyroCCS, AMBE PASCAL, Abhilasha from Circonomy. 12-week long online internship program where the initial weeks were spent learning Biochar and its various properties, followed by understanding and preparing, charging, and using Biochar. Toward the end, each intern picked a problem statement and worked on it to come up with amazing data and projects. They have come a long way and so have I with the help of these young interns. After over 60 hours of weekly group calls, 1:1s, Project Discussions, Midway submissions, and Final Submissions. Out of 40 that were offered the virtual internship, around 15 successfully reached the finish line. Delighted to share all the content the interns have created with all of you. If you are part of teams involved in biochar-related projects, definitely check our graduates out. They know and understand Biochar and can help your projects! Reach out!

Today's meeting is about a green day programme after the Christmas holiday. I think this is the last programme in which I will take part as the organiser before going for my internship. So I'm going to post a lot after the programme ends soon.😆😆😆 #environment #environmentalengineering #greenfuture #chemicalengineering

🌿 Reflecting on a Fulfilling Summer 🌞🔬 Hello everyone! I hope you're having an awesome summer. I just had to share the incredible experience I had interning at the DCo's Triangle Wastewater Treatment Plant, thanks to the Durham County Government's LEEP Program. During my time here, I had the chance to work with different departments and let me tell you, it was a journey of surprises and growth. We thought I'd find myself working with the finance and administrative department? Certainly not me! Yet, this unexpected exposure taught me valuable skills that I'm eager to apply not only to my school's  Future Business Leaders of America, Inc. (FBLA)  chapter but also to my future entrepreneurial ventures. Working with the plant operators and lab analysts, getting hands-on experience was an absolute blast. I've always had a thing for the medical field, technology, and nature. This experience showed me how we can bridge the gap between health and the environment, through Environmental Engineering. Another thing that really stood out to me was the Nitrification and Denitrification🌀 process of the plant's water purification process. The idea of breaking down chemicals naturally without polluting the air was really shocking. The idea that we can tackle climate change issues by mimicking natural processes is so cool. This internship has restored my faith in humanity's capacity to tackle environmental challenges head-on. But it wasn't all about work—this summer gave me so much more. From creating connections with like-minded peers to rubbing shoulders with intellectual minds at DCo. I've come out of this experience with a network and a mindset that'll serve me well in my journey. A heartfelt thank you to DCo for granting me this opportunity. This isn't just a line on my resume; it's a chapter in my story that's left an indelible mark. As I look forward to what's next, I'm excited to keep learning, growing, and contributing to the field of environmental engineering. 🌱🌟 #environmentalengineering  #summerinternship #lookingahead  #dco  #engineering  #leadershipdevelopment

Hey connections I hope you all are fine Today I wanna tell you about my certified internship program where I learned a lot about environmental science and technology. Certified with this Internship Here's my core certificate #intern #earth #greenenergy #environmentalengineering #sustainableconstruction

I have started my internship It’s been started since August 2023 at #Energy_center of #Politecnic_university of Torino , Italia under the supervision of professor Papurello and professor Barla. The main topic of my internship is about a specific criteria in an #energy_wall_system which is one of the most efficient #renewable_energy sources. I’ve found this field of study really interesting particularly in case of combination between #renewable_energy , #circular_economy and #sustainabilty in #green_building , besides I’ve working on my thesis in the same topic as well .

📣 Attention students, it’s that time of year! ESA is now accepting applications for our 2024 Internship Program. The part-time paid opportunity provides hands-on experience to the many types of careers in the environmental industry—whether you are interested in environmental planning, geospatial systems (GIS), biological resources, accounting—and beyond. Internships will extend up to four months, starting in the Spring/Summer. Interns also have the chance to be considered for the Environmental, Engineering, and Planning Internship and Charrette (EEPIC) Program. While open to all, these programs have been designed to focus on engaging and exposing diverse candidates from traditionally excluded groups to the environmental field. We will be accepting applications until January 31, 2024. Find all the internship details and how to apply in the flier below and at the following link: https://lnkd.in/g9VUyF8A We can’t wait to hear from you! #InternshipOpportunity #InternWithUs #InternshipProgram #EEPIC #CareerDevelopment #EnvironmentalJobs #EnvironmentalConsultingJobs #EnvironmentalPlanning #Diversity #Inclusion
