Call for Applications
AdvantageWest is pleased to announce that the 2010-11 AdvantageGreen Energy Internships Program is now open for applications.
Under this program, nine internships and three fellowships are available to talented recent graduates (within last three years) of North Carolina colleges and universities, as well as state residents that graduated from a similar institution outside of North Carolina in the last three years.
These positions are 12-month commitments to start in October 2010 and have a competitive stipend. We hope these positions will help create pathways to meaningful employment in clean energy companies for students as well as help grow Western North Carolina’s clean energy economy. The AdvantageGreen Energy Internships Program has been made possible through the support of the North Carolina State Energy Office.
