About this position
The Tribal Education Partnership Program (TEPP) is an internship opportunity within the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), part of the U.S. Department of Energy. The program is designed to expand experiential learning for students enrolled at Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) through hands-on activities and professional mentorship from industry experts.
Participants are placed at DOE and NNSA national laboratories across the United States and at NNSA field/site offices. The program is oriented toward mission-driven technical training and exposure to the Nuclear Security Enterprise, with emphasis on developing the next generation of skilled professionals ready to support national security needs.
TEPP highlights work connected to core mission areas such as nuclear security, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity, engineering, and energy systems. Students gain practical insight into technical disciplines that support NNSA mission objectives while working in an environment that may be in-person or virtual depending on the appointment and project assignment.
The program is structured for students and trainees across multiple stages, from technical certificate and associate-level study through graduate and postdoctoral levels. It is intended for participants who can engage fully with a project, contribute relevant technical or professional skills, and learn within a federal science and engineering mission setting.
The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of Energy / NNSA through ORISE and is part of a broader effort to build workforce pathways for Tribal College and University students interested in technical and STEM-related careers.
