The main objective in offering an Environmental Internship Programme (EIP) is to facilitate essential grooming of the students and fresh graduates as well as to reorient professionals to widen their career opportunities.

To a student, the EIP offers a unique advantage of adding practical experience to formal environmental education. As a professional, one can strengthen core work areas and gain an additional short-term experience on emerging areas of environmental management. There are no fixed dates for joining the EIP. A completion certificate is issued to each Intern after successful completion of her/his internship with EMC.

Thirty interns have participated in the EIP over last four years. These interns have come from premier institutes in India like Indian Institute of Technology, Centre of Environment Planning Technology, Pune University, Symbiosis, TERI University, etc. The topics in internship represent frontier areas like Eco-housing, Environmental Management Systems, Eco-design, GIS applications, Carbon Footprinting etc. In most cases, Interns have undertaken full time projects at their universities/institutions following the foundation work done with EMC. In some cases, the outputs from Interns have been accepted and published in international conferences

EMC has now restructured the EIP in a partnership model with companies/institutions. The idea is to provide students as well as young professionals better learning opportunities and offer a service to the companies and institutions by providing them with quality interns and potential human resources.

The proposed EIP will have three stages of internship- the Foundation stage, the Orientation stage and In-Company or Applied stage. While the first two stages will be completed at EMC, the Applied stage will be with the partner company/institution.
