Palmetto Clean Fuels coalition, an initiative of the State Energy Office within the SC Office of Regulatory Staff, seeks to hire an intern for the Summer 2024 semester. Funding for this internship is through the Clean Cities University Workforce Development Program (CCUWDP), an initiative of Clean Cities, a government-industry partnership sponsored by the US Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Program. This internship will give students from a broad spectrum of fields (communications, public relations, business, marketing, engineering or environmental sciences, and others) the opportunity to grow public awareness and expand the markets of advanced vehicle technologies, alternative fuels, and practices that reduce the consumption of petroleum. We have numerous clean transportation initiatives underway and several on the horizon, making the summer semester an ideal time for meaningful work.
The successful intern will assist with existing efforts and future programs and initiatives such as those outlined below:
