Recipient, in cooperation with reclamation, will recruit and manage qualified persons (youth interns) as resource assistant interns (rais) and or standard interns, 18 years or older, who are currently enrolled in an engineering or business management (or related field) degree program at an institution of higher education. The youth interns will complete 11-18 week internships (approximately 440 to 720 hours).the reclamation brackish groundwater national desalination research facility administers water treatment innovation initiatives through research. Youth interns will engage in engineering and administrative projects (e.g., desalination technologies, emerging contaminates, evaluation and optimization of photovoltaic systems, data analysis, creating system drawings and models, records keeping, client coordination, evaluation and optimization of organizational systems, data analysis, and creating programs for internal and external stake holder outreach) that provide critical support to employees across the bureau to efficiently meet the needs and requirements for employees to achieve the reclamation mission to assist in meeting the increasing water demands of the west while protecting the environment and the public s investment in our 58 power plants. The interns will work with an engineer, engineering technician, electronics technician, and or research scientist. The interns will be matched with the most appropriate mentor and project depending on interest area, education, and previous experience. Interns will work with the mentor and supervisor to create an individual project plan. Each project will include assistance with research and development of desalination technologies and or renewable energy-driven processes and technical support of facility operations and maintenance.each intern will be given specific assignments within the individual project based on their professional goals. The specific assignments will vary depending on the interest of the intern as well as the ongoing workload. Assignments may be related to research areas such as desalination technologies, emerging contaminates, evaluation and optimization of photovoltaic systems, data analysis, and creating system drawings and models.each project will offer an end result of applying project findings to real organizational challenges and departmental initiatives.
