For students and recent graduates to federal careers!
This program is designed to provide students enrolled in a wide variety of education institutions, from high school to graduate level, with opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while still in school and while getting paid for the work performed. Students who successfully complete the program may be eligible for conversion to a permanent job in the civil service. Interns may be converted to a permanent position within 120 days of successful completion of the program. Addition information can be found at: https://www.usajobs.gov/studentsandgrads.
