See Benefits and Perks at TCEQ. TRANSITIONS HIRING PROGRAMThis program is designed for recent college graduates who are transitioning from college to work. Job submissions are solicited to form a pool of candidates who have an undergraduate or graduate degree, but little or no work experience. The pool is used to fill TCEQ entry-level jobs requiring a bachelor's degree only. How does the Transitions Program work?Hiring supervisors in the Austin Central Office, or any of TCEQ's sixteen regional offices, request candidates with specific majors from the Transitions pool. Matched candidates receive an "interview opportunity" email through CAPPS. Interviews are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The hiring supervisor schedules interviews and makes a final selection. How long does my application stay on file?Transitions requisitions open every six months for a six-month period. Resubmission for each requisition is required to remain eligible. What disciplines are acceptable?While the TCEQ hires candidates within a variety of disciplines, most entry-level positions require a major in natural or physical science, engineering, environmental science, or environmental studies. What if my transcripts are from an international university?Applicants who hold an international degree should contact a foreign degree evaluation service to have their course work evaluated prior to submitting for a position with the TCEQ. The service must be a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) or acceptable to the Texas State Board of Education Certification.A photocopy of the evaluation must be included with the job submission in order for it to be considered complete.
