INTERN SUSTAINABILITY PROJECT
In FY18 we launched a 12-week TRC Pilot Intern Pro-
gram with 13 interns placed throughout the company.
The pilot culminated in a sustainability capstone project,
with the objectives of generating new ideas, building
awareness internally and externally around sustainable
aspects in our project work, and enhancing the work
experience for the interns. Each intern conducted inde-
pendent research on TRC and our clients’ sustainability
goals. Working with assigned sustainability mentors,
they identified ideas on how we might incorporate
sustainable aspects into our technical service offerings.
The interns worked in teams to share their ideas and
develop a presentation that was delivered to a manage-
ment team in Houston at the end of the summer.
As one of our mentors, Cailyn Bruno (New Providence
Office, ECR) said: “This capstone project is a really great
way to add mutual value to the internship program, and
to shine a spotlight on the future of our business – sus-
tainability and young talent.”
