Conversion Information

Internships are designed to provide students with opportunities to work and explore Federal careers while still in school and receiving a salary. Student interns work part-time or full-time schedules depending on school commitments and take periods of leave without pay when they are attending school full-time and unable to work. They may participate in temporary duty travel when it doesn’t interfere with their school schedule. Student interns serve a trial period (equivalent to probation) for the duration of their internship. Once the requirements of the program are met, students may be converted to a competitive service appointment.
