“GPSI interns that I have mentored have contributed many useful ideas and developed innovative projects that would otherwise not have existed at the IEPA.The interns have seen firsthand how their work benefits both the IEPA and the people served by IEPA programs. In just 21 months, the GPSI interns secured for themselves an impressive combination of education and experience, including a work portfolio to share with prospective employers.” -- Heather Nifong, Program Advisor, IEPA, Division of Remediation Management
