Funds a graduate-level internship program that trains MBA/MPP-type students in National Park Service business management and operations, placing them to analyze park operations and recommend improvements to planning and management. Applicants must be state, local, or tribal governments, public entities, educational institutions, or private nonprofits; businesses are not eligible.
The National Parks Business Plan Internship (BPI) goal is to jointly administer a graduate-level internship program focused on improving the business management and operational health of our national parks and NPS programs. The internship program should: - Provide students with in-depth training on NPS business management and operations, exposure to park and/or program level operations, and the opportunity to conduct substantive analysis and evaluation which lead to recommendations that improve strategic planning and management decision-making. - Encourage highly qualified graduate students from professional disciplines underrepresented in the NPS workforce (Master of Business Administration, Master of Public Policy, Master of Environmental Management, and similar degree programs) to explore federal careers with conservation and land management agencies. - Cultivate a lifelong stewardship ethic for public lands in graduate students from top universities. Eligible recipients are State, local and tribal governments, other public entities, educational institutions, and private nonprofit organizations.
