The Introductory College Level Experience In Microbiology (iCLEM) The Introductory College Level Experience in Microbiology is an eight-week paid biotech internship program for exceptionally motivated high school sophomores and juniors interested in learning about biotechnology. Developed in partnership with the Joint BioEnergy Institute, this program seeks to broaden students' understanding of biotechnology and the careers available in this field. In addition to basic science and research, the program also exposes students to career exploration and preparation for the college application process, including field trips to local biotech companies, career talks with scientists, writing a college personal statement, researching colleges, meeting with an admissions officer, and visiting college campuses. Students are paid a stipend of $1500, plus a scholarship of $500 upon successful completion of the program.
