Environmental, Engineering, and Planning Internship

The Environmental, Engineering, and Planning Internship and Charrette
(EEPIC) program is a collaborative effort between six firms (Ascent, Dudek,
ESA, Fehr & Peers, Placeworks, and Rincon) who are committed to change
through the creation of more opportunities in the environmental and planning
fields for students from unrepresented communities.
In addition to completing a traditional internship program, all interns will get
to participate in the charrette in July (dates are TBD). The 2-week charrette
will focus on a specific project proposed by a city, county, or local agency that
has a planning challenge or goal.
Ascent is currently looking for diverse passionate students who want to
gain experience through a combination of research and collaboration in the
environmental and planning field.
