In engaging students and seeking to inspire an understanding of JGI’s role in advancing the energy and environmental genomics research frontier, the goal is to inspire more students to enter the STEM workforce, developing a more diverse and inclusive pool of talent. Among JGI’s workforce development activities that have evolved independently from those administered through the Berkeley Lab Workforce Development & Education Office:
- the JGI-UC Merced Internship Program – go here to learn more
- interns from the CalTeach Summer Research Institute
- ongoing collaboration with Biotech Partners to coordinate internships for students transitioning from high school to community college
