[Pollinator] USFWS NCTC Directorate Fellows Program

[Matthew Shepherd]

Hi folks,



Have you heard about the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National
Conservation Training Center’s Directorate Fellows Program? It was brought
to our attention and I wanted to pass it along.



The Directorate Fellows Program offers full-time, paid fellowships for
college students to work on conservation projects with the USFWS. There are
more than 100 positions available, including several focused on bumble bees
or butterflies. Check out the entire list of fellowships in the PDF,

https://nctc.fws.gov/documents/dfp/2020-Directorate-Fellows-Program-Project-List.pdf



This description of the Directorate Fellows Program is from the USFWS NCTC
website (https://nctc.fws.gov/topic/youth/):

“Getting ready to graduate from college or in a graduate program? You’ll
want to explore the Directorate Resource Assistants Fellowship Program
(DFP). The DFP offers an 11-week, full-time, paid fellowship to work on
conservation projects throughout the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These
conservation projects are designed and supervised by Service staff at
offices and field stations throughout the country. You read the
descriptions of the conservation projects and apply for those that most
interest you, just like a job. After meeting all program requirements, DFP
Fellows qualify for non-competitive appointment to positions with the
Service or other agencies of the Department of the Interior; in other
words, a full-time job. Fellowships are offered over the summer months,
with recruitment for the program happening November – January each year.”
