WASHINGTON – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the launch of “Be EPA” Recruitment Week and new recruitment video, a recruitment campaign designed to inspire and attract the next generation of environmental professionals.
“EPA’s mission is not just a responsibility; it’s a sacred duty to our planet and future generations. In 2024, we’re setting a new benchmark. Our aim is to bring on board more than 1,000 new employees, including 350 interns, to tackle some of the most pressing environmental issues of our time,” said EPA Administrator Michael S.
