'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!

I am #StantecProud to be a woman in engineering because it allows me to continuously learn and grow in pursuit of protecting public health. If you would have told the engineering student in the photo below that this internship in 2008 would be the start of my water career, I probably would have made some wise-crack remark because it was the great recession and I was grateful to have an internship. However, what keeps me here is the fact that 3.5 billion people lack access to safely managed sanitation and 2.2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water globally (UN Statistics for Sustainable Development Goals as of 2022). We have a lot of work to do. I have the privilege of being part of the solution, and that is something to be proud of. P.S. The photo was taken at a power plant and not a water facility. Let's all recall the struggles of pre-smart-phone-life where some images only live in our memories. #WomenAtStantec #INWED2024 #StantecEng #ProfessionalEngineer #ilooklikeanengineer #WaterProfessional #MyWaterStory

Learning Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) is more than finding lost relationships. It can also prepare you for climate, biology and environmental careers now that society is wising up to the value of old ways to address modern climate and pollution problems. Stipends available for BIPOC students. All high school student allies are welcome. #TEK #ecology #indigenous #blackpeople #poc #internships #yolocounty Tracy Gwerder (Kapsalis) Do you know any high school kids in your area who might be interested? https://lnkd.in/gYx4Z3bv

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.

Check out this "Sustainability Spotlight" that was featured in Rider University's "The Campus Green" Fall 2023 newsletter. Written by DRBC intern Bailey Adams, it describes her multi-summer internship with the DRBC, what she learned and how her work related to sustainability.

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

After three months I have completed my internship at Southern Cross University in Lismore. As part of my internship, I have seen many (master &PhD) research projects in the domain of plant and soil sciences and I have worked in a scientific and academic environment. Besides, I have worked on my own research project with the subtitle: 'An assessment of soil health and pasture productivity towards pasture improvement and short-term C-sequestration by introducing multispecies in the Northern Rivers Region, Australia.' Especially, I want to mention my supervisor Abraham Gibson, from Southern Cross University, for his support and guidance during my internship and thesis project. There are no words explaining the nature and wildlife in Australia. For 6 weeks, I have been travelling around the northern and eastern areas of this diverse country. Humid areas, bushfires, rainforest, (dead) kangaroos, extensive beaches and the always friendly question: 'How are you?' An experience that I will never forget and will contribute to my future career.  

Completed my internship with PYGENICARC

I am excited to share that I have started my #internship in #PrinceEdwardCounty, where I will be working on quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural lands. #climatesmartsoil #GHG
