PASE Corps is solving the chronic problem of job seekers needing a job to get experience and employers who want candidates that have experience. Description: Environmental Associates become part of PASE Corps and build their resume by: Participating in weekly advanced environmental training sessions that are based on skills employers told us were the most important or often missing in resumes and experience that they wished more candidates would have -- based on nationwide environmental employer surveys. Researching technical and environmental policy issues one week and then teaching them next week. Much of the Summer 2018 and Fall 2018 advanced training sessions will focus on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and associated laws and regulations such as Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. You will also gain experience researching and preparing proposals for grants, cooperative agreements, and environmental contracts -- environmental employers seek technical staff that can also write proposals and win work! You will need to adapt, research, and train on other skills that environmental employers introduce to us during the semester -- for example, Brownfields, climate change planning, ISO 14001 EMS, and other environmental compliance laws, regulations, and skills. Limited to 15 participants for Summer 2018 session. Two-hour training sessions on Mondays at TNCC in Hampton, VA. Start date: July 9.
Additional training sessions may be added based on employer/partner's needs. Some Associates may be selected to work on short-term projects for our Partners (municipalities, government agencies, consultants, and nonprofit environmental organizations). Others may be placed in internships on-site with our Partners. Ultimate goal is placing PASE Corps Environmental Associates in rewarding entry-level environmental sustainability careers. Qualifications : At least two years of college, bachelor's degree or higher preferred. Preference for candidates who have college education in environmental-related degree programs. Ability to research environmental topics one week and teach them at the following week's session. Don't worry--everyone has to do it. Your're building experience, knowledge and your resume. Availability to work on short-term environmental projects for our partners/employers. PASE Corps Environmental Associates are not stuck in the Catch-22 trap of: The job requires experienced people, but I need that job to get experience. They are passionate about sharpening their skills and abilities and building their resume for a career that makes a difference. To Apply: Attach your resume and describe your career goals and action plan. See PASEcorps.org for more information. PASE Corps is an EEO

Responsibilities
When disaster strikes, America looks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Now FEMA looks to you. Join our team and use your talent to support Americans in their times of greatest need. FEMA prepares the nation for all hazards and manages Federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. We foster innovation, reward performance and creativity, and provide challenges on a routine basis with a well-skilled, knowledgeable, high performance workforce.

All positions are subject to recall around the clock for emergency management operations, which may require irregular work hours, work at locations other than the official duty station, and may include duties other than those specified in the employee's official position description. Travel requirements in support of emergency operations may be extensive in nature (weeks to months), with little advance notice, and may require employees to relocate to emergency sites with physically austere and operationally challenging conditions. In this position, you will receive proposed federal actions in the applicable system (EMIS, Grants-Manager, other) and triages to determine NEPA level of review and follow-on actions. The incumbent also reviews Agency or Applicant actions/projects for compliance with all applicable federal environmental and historic preservation laws and executive orders (EO) during the Response to and/or Recovery from disasters; and for Mitigation, and other Non-disaster actions. Typical assignments include:
Conducting analysis to document impacts to the natural and human environments; cultural and historic resources; and writing reports, documents, consultations, findings and determinations in reference to( NEPA) National Environment Policy Act documents and Records of Environmental Consideration (RECs) relative but not limited to NEPA, (NHPA) National Historic Preservation Act, ESA, (CZMA),Coastal Zone Management Act EO11998, EO11990.
Communicating upwards (reporting) and laterally (coordinating) (and with approvals, externally) using all approved agency methods (verbal: in-person or remotely by phone/VTC; electronic: by email/instant messenger/text/share-point/Agency applications/other).
Participating in training both informally thru a mentor and formally thru the FEMA FEKC online system and FQS school education system to complete the appropriate level of PTB.
Completing all administrative actions as required in order to be prepared for daily work or for deployment to a disaster.
Promotion Potential: Positions filled under Stafford Act regulations generally do not have documented promotion potential; however, dependent on an employee’s ability to perform higher level duties, the continuing need for an employee to perform work associated with a higher level position, and administrative recommendation and approval, promotions may be earned by CORE employees.
