The Internship Program replaces the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP). It also directs OPM to set eligibility requirements and minimum qualification standards, and to make the PMF experience more robust and substantive for participants. Executive Order 13562 expands the eligibility window for applicants, making it more "student friendly" by aligning it with academic calendars and allowing those who have received a qualifying advanced degree within the preceding two years to participate.

It is intended to promote possible careers in the civil service to individuals who, within the previous two years, graduated from qualifying educational institutions with an associates, bachelors, masters, professional, doctorate, vocational or technical degree or certificate from qualifying educational institutions. The Recent Graduates Program provides developmental experiences in the Federal Government. The new Internship Program provides students in high schools, colleges, trade schools and other qualifying educational institutions with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore Federal careers while completing their education. It replaces the Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) and Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP). The Internship Program is for current students. The final rule aims to improve recruiting efforts, offer clear paths to Federal internships for students from high school through post-graduate school and to careers for recent graduates, and to provide meaningful training and career development opportunities for individuals who are at the beginning of their Federal service. These programs, collectively the Pathways Programs, are streamlined developmental programs tailored to promote employment opportunities for students and recent graduates in the Federal workforce.Īs directed by the Executive order, OPM issued a final Pathways Rule to implement these programs. They are the Internship Program for current students the Recent Graduates Program for people who have recently graduated from qualifying educational institutions or programs (2 years from the date the graduate completed an academic course of study) and the reinvigorated Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program for people who obtained an advanced degree (e.g., graduate or professional degree) within the preceding two years. This Executive order established two new programs and modified another.

To address these difficulties, President Obama signed Executive Order 13562, entitled "Recruiting and Hiring Students and Recent Graduates," on December 27, 2010. We have been placed at a competitive disadvantage, though, compared to other sectors in recruiting and hiring students and recent graduates. The Federal Government values the contributions made by students and recent graduates of all ages and backgrounds.
