Internship Title: PATHWAYS Program – US Citizenship & Immigration Office

Description:

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The Internship Program is designed to attract students enrolled in a wide variety of educational institutions (high school, home-school programs, vocational and technical, undergraduate and graduate) with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while still in school.  This Program exposes students to jobs in the Federal civil service by providing meaningful developmental work at the beginning of their careers, before their careers paths are fully established.  The flexible nature of the Program also accommodates the need to hire students to complete temporary work or projects, perform labor-intensive tasks not requiring subject matter expertise, or to work traditional “summer jobs.”

The Program provides our agency with the opportunity to convert Interns who successfully complete the Program and academic requirements to any competitive service position for which the Intern is qualified.  Our agency is encouraged to utilize the Pathways Internship Program authority for several reasons:

• To recruit and develop talented employees to support changing agency missions, even in periods of downsizing;
• To ensure that the Government can meet its professional, technical and administrative needs; and
• To sustain a quality and diverse workforce.

Eligibility Requirements 

To be eligible for the Pathways Intern Program, the individual must have been accepted for enrollment or be enrolled and seeking a degree (diploma, certificate, etc.) in a qualifying educational institution on a full or half-time basis.

Qualifications

Agencies can use agency-developed or OPM qualification standards when filling Internship positions as specified in their MOUs.  However, individuals being considered for positions that have positive education requirements (e.g., biologist, geologist) should be enrolled in directly related degree programs in order to be eligible for conversion to that position in the competitive service.

 Appointments

Appointments to the Internship Program under the Pathways Program are:

• A temporary appointment for a period not to exceed 1 year, the ending date of which must be specified in the Participant Agreement with the Intern.  These appointments may be extended under 5 CFR 213.104; or
• An appointment for an initial period expected to last for more than 1 year.  An end date must be specified in the Participant Agreement with the Intern and is generally the Intern’s projected graduation date.

Trial Period

 The entire period served under the Internship Program counts as the participant’s trial period.  Prior Federal civilian service is credited toward the completion of the required trial period in the same manner as prescribed in 5 CFR 315.802.

Student Schedules

Interns may work full-time or part-time schedules.  The agency is responsible for establishing work schedules for Interns in accordance with 5 CFR 610.121.  Agencies and students should agree on a formally-arranged schedule of school and work that does not interfere with the student’s academic schedule or performance and so that completion of the educational program and the Internship Program is accomplished in a reasonable timeframe.  Interns without NTE dates must complete 640 hours of work in order to be eligible for conversion to the competitive service or meet one or more of the exceptions granted for a credit of up to 320 hours mentioned in the Conversion to the Competitive Service section of this guide.  This information must be reflected in the Participant Agreement.

Breaks in Program

A break in the Program is defined as a period of time when an Intern is working but is unable to go to school, or is neither attending classes nor working at the agency.  The agency should have a written process to receive and consider a participant’s request for a break in the Internship Program.  The agency may use its discretion in either approving or denying a break in Program.

Conversion to the Competitive Service

 An agency may convert an Intern noncompetitively from the Internship Program to a term or permanent position in the competitive service, provided that all the terms of 5 CFR 362.204 are met and there is an available position.  However, conversion is not mandatory or guaranteed.  Interns must be U.S. citizens to be eligible for conversion.

• To be eligible for conversion, an Intern must:
  • Have completed the required number of hours of work experience (generally, at least 640 hours) while enrolled as a full-time or half-time degree-seeking student
  • Have completed educational requirements from a qualifying institution
  • Have received a favorable recommendation by an official of the agency, and
  • Meet the qualification requirements for the position to which the Intern will be converted.

• Agencies may credit time spent under one or more previous Federal internship program appointments towards the 640 hours that is not in a field or functional area related to the Intern’s target position or career field as provided in 5 CFR 362.204.  Interns’ participation in the Pathways Program counts toward their career tenure.

• Agencies may credit up to 320 hours of certain non-Federal career-related internship program experience, volunteer service, or active duty military service and apply it towards the 640 hours as provided in 5 CFR 362.204(c).

• Agencies may waive up to 320 hours of the 640-hour requirement based on exceptional job performance and outstanding academic achievement (5 CFR 362.204(d)).

• Agencies are permitted to noncompetitively convert Interns into term or permanent appointments in the competitive service.  If OPM has established a cap on the number of the noncompetitive conversions to the competitive service, the conversion must be within that cap.

• Interns can be placed in term positions and may subsequently be noncompetitively converted into permanent competitive service positions.
