We have several exciting opportunities for students to EARN while they LEARN.
HEFT - RX
The Higher Education Fire Training Program (HEFT - Rx) is an exciting new program that is a collaboration between FRC and Chico State University. Students in the HEFT program will get paid to participate in nationally recognized wildfire certification (NWCG) courses and to work on active prescribed fires across the north state, while they are enrolled in school. Students will travel with this work team made up of FRC and CSU Chico students to support prescribed fire efforts on both public and private lands and will gain valuable fire and land management skills. This program will begin in fall 2023 and spots are still open.

PAID Summer Work Experience
FRC has developed a robust PAID summer work program with several local land management agencies, including the Feather River RCD and the Plumas National Forest. Students placed in these positions gain valuable, paid work experience during their summer break that compliments their education. Students have opportunities to work in variety of capacities on fire and fuels crews, forestry crews, wildlife crews, hydrology crews, recreation crews and more!

On Campus Students Jobs
Students can get paid to work on campus. In particular, our program hires students to work with our Fire and Fuels program to manage our campus forest, at our campus's native trout, fish hatchery, and with our Ecological Farming program to work in our campus greenhouse on a small, local farm production farm.

EDA Good Jobs Grants
We are excited to be part of a consortium of community colleges and other organization in north eastern California that were awarded a $20 million dollar federal grant to train students in forest and fire management then help place them in relevant jobs in our region. Our forests need our help and you can be part of the future of our forests!
