Internships with the U.S. Department of State
December 26, 2019

 

The U.S. Department of State’s Pathways Internship Program has two internship opportunities open for U.S. Citizens, enrolled in high school, college, graduate school, and approved certificate programs, who want an opportunity to experience Civil Service work firsthand.

Applications are being accepted through December 20, 2012 or until the first 250 applications have been received.

  • The Internship Experience Program (IEP) is a non-temporary internship designed to allow      students to work for the length of the academic program in which they are      enrolled. At the successful conclusion of the program, interns may be      eligible for non-competitive conversion to a Federal career or      career-conditional position in the competitive service. Interns may work      full-time or part-time schedules.
  • The Internship Temporary Experience Program (ITEP) offers interns temporary appointments that allow for      seasonal employment (during summers and holiday breaks from academic      program) as well as year-round employment should their academic programs      allow. These appointments are limited to a year or less with possibility      for extensions in one-year increments. At the successful conclusion of the      program, interns may be eligible for non-competitive conversion to a      Federal career or career-conditional position in the competitive service.
