Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP)

The Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP) is an outreach program at the University of Minnesota that helps Minnesota businesses develop and implement industry-tailored solutions that prevent pollution at the source, maximize efficient use of resources, and reduce energy use and costs to improve public health and the environment.
MnTAP is currently seeking project proposals from Minnesota businesses for its 2013 summer intern program. Businesses interested in reducing waste and improving energy efficiency are encouraged to apply for an intern.
Each year, interns are chosen based on their outstanding educational background and leadership capabilities. Proposed projects are evaluated for reduction potential, specific goals achievable in three months, relation to previous projects, application of results to other Minnesota businesses, and company interest and commitment. Projects should focus on identifying specific options for reducing waste and increasing energy efficiency.
Proposals are due to MnTAP by February 1, 2013.  For more information about the intern program or the application process, visit the MnTAP website or contact Linda Maleitzke at 612.624.4697 or lmaleitz@umn.edu.
