The National Partnership for Environmental Technology Education (PETE) is assisting Tribal and Pacific Rim Colleges in improving their Environmental Technology programs by providing educational resources and professional development to build an informed and up-to-date environmental 'green' workforce. Under the guidance of a Tribal and Pacific Rim College Steering Committee the project provides 1) one-on-one technical assistance to Tribal and Pacific Rim Colleges, 2) an Indigenous Environmental Fellows Institute each summer for Tribal and Pacific Rim College faculty, as well as a limited number of high schools serving indigenous populations 3) mini-grants to assist with the implementation of curricular projects resulting from the Institutes, and 4) webinars highlighting Fellows' successes. Project outcomes are available to all 35 Tribal Colleges and 3 institutions in the Pacific Rim (U.S. Territories). This project is increasing the STEM skill sets of Tribal and Pacific Rim students by improving STEM faculty skills and enhancing college programs. The project also encourages high school graduates and non-traditional indigenous students to enroll in environmental technology and related natural resource programs to better serve the needs of their local communities. Project activities are evaluated through a culturally sensitive, logic model driven approach. Results are disseminated through an interactive website.

国家环境技术教育伙伴关系（PETE）正在通过提供教育资源和专业发展来帮助部落和环太平洋地区学院改善其环境技术课程，以建立一支知情和最新的环境“绿色”劳动力队伍。在部落和环太平洋学院指导委员会的指导下，该项目1）向部落和环太平洋学院提供一对一的技术援助，2）每年夏天为部落和环太平洋学院的教师举办土著环境研究员研究所，3）提供小额赠款，协助执行各研究所提出的课程项目，以及4）网络研讨会突出了研究员的成功。项目成果提供给所有35个部落学院和3个机构在太平洋沿岸（美国领土）。 该项目通过提高STEM教师的技能和加强大学课程来提高部落和环太平洋地区学生的STEM技能。该项目还鼓励高中毕业生和非传统土著学生报名参加环境技术和相关自然资源项目，以更好地满足当地社区的需求。项目活动通过文化敏感的逻辑模型驱动的方法进行评估。 结果通过一个互动网站传播。
