Are you interested in learning about energy sciences and exploring what it is like to be an intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)? Our five-week Pathway Summer Schools (PSS) provide active learning experiences that unpack the science driving Department of Energy mission. Sponsored by Office of Science Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS), applications for experiences at the PNNL-Sequim and PNNL-Richland campuses are now open.

These immersive, cohort-based programs introduce students to the teams at PNNL that conduct energy science research. The PSS program provides students with mentoring, professional development, experiential learning, engaging field trips and tours, and conversations with leading experts.
