Green Team Intern
June - August 2021 • Montclair, NJ
What I liked
It was a great opportunity to network with students from other majors. In addition, there were various workshops that allowed us to gain more insight about sustainability, and even certificates! Every project was important and different in its own way; as for my team and I, we assisted with the research portion. But that's just one of the project tasks from the 12 groups that were there. In general, the environment was great as everyone was super kind and always willing to help each other out despite working on different projects.
What I wish was different
Advice
I would definitely recommend networking with everyone and to take in all the information you can from the workshops/presentations. There's much more when it comes to addressing sustainability initiatives than you may think!

PSEG ISS Green Teams Intern
May - August 2019 • Montclair, NJ
What I liked
I enjoyed how this internship combined work experience with an educational component. Through this program, I had the opportunity to attend presentations about systems thinking, environmental science, corporate social responsibility, LinkedIn, and interviewing techniques. I also got to hear from professionals who have careers that involve sustainability. In addition to presentations, I had the chance to experience what it was like to work on a team for an extended period. I feel better prepared for a job after graduation because of the skills I gained while interning for the PSEG ISS Green Team.
What I wish was different
Advice
I would advise everyone, regardless of their major, to apply for this internship program. This internship focused on sustainability, which is a topic that requires a multi-faceted approach. Working on a team composed of students from varying backgrounds enriched my internship experience.
