The Office
of Human Capital Management (OHCM) has developed a Student and Internship
Program Report (SIPR). SIPR is an important
recruiting resource designed to help agencies eliminate the under representation
of minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities particularly in mission
critical areas at the Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The SIRP should be used by each agency as a tool to help develop
plans to improve diversity and to monitor the results of targeted recruitment
or employment efforts. We suggest that
the SIRP be distributed widely.
The student and intern
employment statistics used in this report were collected from the Mission
Area Student Educational Employment Program Managers. The report represents nationwide data. It includes individuals who were enrolled in
the student and intern programs as of August 2006. It also includes information about the student
and intern programs, and information on the number of individuals who were
converted from student and intern appointments to Career or Career Conditional
Federal assignments. OHCM made every
effort to collect and use the most accurate data in developing this report.
USDA’s students and interns are
participants of the following student and internship programs:
Student
employment covers full time, part time, intermittent, summer appointments,
year-round appointments, unpaid, and contract assignments. Intern employment
generally covers full time and year-round assignments. The analyses in this
report focus on all the mission areas and agencies that submitted data. They

Career Intern
The Career Intern Program
is designed to attract exceptional men and women to the Federal workforce
who have diverse professional experiences, academic training, and competencies,
and to prepare them for careers in public service. Throughout the 2-year internship,
individuals participate in a formal training program and job assignments to
develop competencies appropriate to the agency's mission and needs. The program
is a tool that allows agencies to hire promising external and internal candidates
with minimal red tape.
Presidential Management
Fellows
The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF)
Program is the Federal Government’s premiere program for bringing persons
with advanced degrees into Federal Service. It was established by Executive Order 13318
on
The Scholarship for Service (SFS) Program was created to assist Federal agencies to deal with the threat to the information technology infrastructure by strengthening the cadre of professionals who protect it. This program provides capacity building grants to selected 4-year colleges and universities to develop or improve their capacity to train information assurance professionals. It also provides selected 4-year colleges and universities scholarship grants to attract students to the information assurance field. Upon graduation, participants must serve at a Federal agency for a period equivalent to the length of the scholarship or one year, whichever is longer. This service must be in a position concerned with information assurance. During their period of Federal service, participants join the agency’s cadre of professionals that protect its critical information systems infrastructure. Additional information may be obtained on the Internet at http://www.sfs.opm.gov.
Federal Student Educational
Employment Program - Co-op Component
These students can be recruited
at any time during the year. Some work summers and school vacations; some
work part-time throughout the year; and still others work full-time for one
or more semesters. These students can be hired directly into the Excepted
Service and immediately converted to the Competitive Service after graduation
if they have worked at least 640 hours. New Federal rules provide additional flexibility when determining
that students meet the 640 hours of career related work experience needed
for conversion to a term appointment, or a career or career conditional appointment. Specialized variations of this program include:
Public Service Leaders
Scholarship
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
Public Service Leaders Scholarship Program is designed to promote public service
and to create access to higher education for undergraduate and graduate students.
USDA is making an investment in building the future workforce with talented
men and women dedicated to public service who are choosing agriculture as a profession.
Students are selected for
the program based on their strong academic ability, leadership skills and
commitment to public service. Public Service Scholars become permanent employees
of USDA upon completion of their degrees. Until then, they work as student
employees and receive a scholarship covering their full tuition, book stipend,
and use of a personal computer, mentoring, career development assistance and
leadership training. Additional information may be obtained from Maria Goldberg,
National Program Director, at (202)720-6506.

Agricultural Intern
Program:
USDA's Agricultural Intern
Program will prepare exceptional men and women who are pursuing education
in the agricultural sciences for careers in these areas. Interns will participate
in a semester long program that is designed to fine tune their skills and
abilities. Students are nominated for the program by the dean, director, or
chairperson of their academic degree program at participating institutions.
Nominations are screened, and evaluated by USDA officials. The criteria used
by the officials may include: academic performance, quality of accomplishments,
demonstrated leadership, realistic career goals, potential for future professional
growth, and quality of written expression. The best candidates may be interviewed
either in person or via telephones.
Students are appointed under
an Excepted Service appointment for a semester long internship at the GS-4,
5, 7, or 9 levels depending on their experience and education. These internships
differ from most internships in their emphasis on hands-on experience in the
various USDA Mission Areas and Agencies. Through a variety of work, shadow,
and rotational assignments interns are encouraged to be exposed to a wide
range of management areas and issues. At the successful completion of the
semester long internship, the student will return to school with hands on
experience in USDA's career growth fields.

USDA’s Career Intern Program allows agencies to easily
fill mainstream occupations in the sciences and in administration/professional
areas. The Career Intern program is
a selection method of choice at USDA in 2006.
A diverse group of 403 individuals is currently in the 2-year internships. Most of the selectees possess either a Bachelor’s
or a Master’s Degree.
OHCM’s student and intern report indicates that USDA’s
recruitment of students and interns increased by almost 10 percent for 2006.
USDA had 9,710 students and interns in 2006.
USDA also continues its positive efforts to hire women and minorities.
Minorities represent 2,560 individuals or 26.4 percent of the Departmentwide
total of students and interns. This
is an increase over last year’s number of minorities which was 2,433
individuals. The Forest Service (FS)
continues to lead USDA in its employment of students and interns. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS),
and Research, Education and Economics are also doing a good job of employing
students and interns. NRCS and the
Office of the Inspector General are doing a particularly good job in their
use of the Career Intern Program.
All minorities maintained good representation as follows:
Hispanics | 9.7 percent |
Asian/Pacific Islanders | 3.9 percent |
American Indians | 3.3
percent |
African Americans | 9.5
percent |
Hispanic students have maintained their good participation
in the Career Experience and Career Intern Programs. (Career Experience positions may be converted
to permanent positions once students complete their education. Career Intern positions lead to permanent positions
once the internship is completed.) The
SIRP also shows the number of Career Experience Program positions remained
good at 1,598 positions in August 2006.
Progress in the Employment of Students
and Interns with Disabilities
The SIRP also indicates USDA’s progress in the employment
of students and interns with disabilities.
USDA Mission Areas employed 49 individuals as part of the Workforce
Recruitment Program. They also reported
employing an additional 58 individuals under various other student and intern
programs. These individuals worked
in various important career areas.
The Benefits of Increased Student and
Intern Employment
As USDA anticipates the retirement or the eligibility for retirement
of a substantial portion of its almost 100,000 employees within the next few
years, USDA needs to prepare for this increased turnover particularly in mission
critical occupations. Additionally,
USDA needs to be able to more
quickly respond to changes in priorities, to be able to increase
entry-level hiring, and to improve workforce diversity. USDA’s increased use of student and intern
programs places it in a good position to meet these challenges. Use of the student and intern programs allows
managers to preview the performance of prospective permanent employees, and
the ability to convert students and interns to permanent appointments in the
case of the Career Experience, Career Intern, and Presidential Management
Fellows Programs. (Career Experience
positions can be used as feeder positions to fill scientific, professional,
technical, administrative, support and blue color positions. Students who attend accredited educational institutions
on at least a half-time basis at the High School Diploma or General Equivalency
Diploma (GED), Vocational/Technical Certificate, Associate Degree, Baccalaureate Degree, Graduate
Degree, and Professional Degree may be employed under the Career Experience
Program. The Career Intern and Presidential
Management Fellows Programs are geared to recent college graduates.
However, persons with outstanding experience backgrounds may be considered
for the Career Intern Program.)
Students and high skilled and/or
degree bearing interns are cost effective.
Students earn between $11.00 to $12.00 per hour for the approximately
9,290 students who are on USDA’s payroll; $8,500 to $10,000 for the
120 students who are paid under contracts with third parties such as the Hispanic
Association of Colleges and Universities; and free for the 22 students who
are paid by others, and the 278 students who are volunteers. Degree holding and/or high skilled interns in
the Career Intern Program earn between $29,604 to $44,856 in the
The Flexible Schedules of Student and
Intern Employees
Most
students work part-time. However, under
the Student Temporary Employment Program students can also work full-time. Degree holding and/or high skilled interns work
full time and have full benefits packages.
