It lets students to build professional skills, gain practical knowledge and focus their career trajectories.

This program also allows agencies and other organizations make direct connections with qualified, energetic, engaged summer employees who are ready to join the professional workforce. It’s one of the many ways that USU collaborates with state and federal agencies to solve environmental issues on Utah lands.
