Sep 09, 2009CanGEA Now with Full-Time Staff!
With the help of ECO Canada (Environmental Careers Organization), CanGEA has now been able to employ full-time staff! Under the federal government’s Youth Employment Strategy program, ECO Canada offers post-secondary graduates the opportunity to gain work experience in the environmental profession. The program has seen tremendous success with over 90% of ECO Canada interns securing meaningful employment in the environmental profession upon completion of their internship term.
These internships have enabled CanGEA to hire two new members as full-time staff: Lindsay Nielsen, and Drew Wiseman. Lindsay has just recently completed her B.Sc. in Natural Resources Conservation from UBC. Drew, also recently graduated with a B.Sc. in Geology from the University of Calgary. In 2010, Drew will return to the University of Calgary to begin a Masters of Science in Sedimentary Petrology.
With our two new additions to CanGEA’s staff, we hope to further increase our success in advocating Geothermal Energy in Canada.
