Field Experience

At Arizona's public universities, just more than one-half of full-time students seeking bachelor's degrees actually graduate within six years. If a student comes from a low-income background, is a first generation college student, or is a minority, their chances decline dramatically. G.E.M. Environmental helps students from all backgrounds gain a combination of skills, education, and experience for getting started in a STEM career.

We work with local colleges to offer a unique field experience, which includes on-site job training.

Vocational Internships

Only half of new STEM graduates secure professional employment in their respective fields. Without industry related work experience prior to or immediately following graduation, STEM students struggle to compete on the job market. Studies show that students who participate in internship programs have higher job placement rates along with greater job stability and satisfaction in the critical early years of their careers.

Our Vocational Internships promote environmental stewardship through remediation of hazardous abandoned mine features on public land throughout New Mexico. Interns are compensated for their time during their one to four month contracts.

Students lacking professional connections and/or those in the low to moderate income category are strongly encouraged to apply.
