Career Discovery Internship Program

Founded in 2008, the Career Discovery Internship Program (CDIP) was created in partnership with the Student Conservation Association to help prepare the next generation of wildlife professionals and managers by: introducing culturally and ethnically diverse college freshman and sophomores to conservation careers in the USFWS, giving field staff the experience of working with culturally and ethnically diverse employees, and increasing the diversity of the applicant pool for conservation based jobs. These internships provide a diverse group of youth with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field.
