As an added benefit, on Day 1, the USDA Forest Service will host Career Workshop. While the workshop will be primarily focused on entry-level, early career, and internship positions, the Forest Service staff on site will be happy to answer all questions and to provide support for openings across the agency. Students from surrounding colleges and universities will be invited to participate in the hiring event throughout the afternoon. Conference participants will be able to participate in the hiring event if interested during the lunch break.
