Intern Program offer enhanced development opportunities for high
potential future leaders.
Government-wide Acquisition
Management Intern Program
The Governmentwide Acquisition Management Intern Program is a three-year
program designed to employ federal government Contract Specialists
and to develop them into procurement professionals and government
business leaders of the future. Interns complete four six-month
rotational assignments in sponsoring Departments and Agencies. Interns
receive technical and business skills training including contract
administration, price and cost analysis, customer service, project
management and presentation skills. Participants are hired at the
GS 7/9 levels with full promotion potential to GS-13. Upon completion
of the two-year training program, interns will complete a year-long

future leaders for the Department's management functions. The interns
complete six four-month rotational assignments in Interior's Policy,
Management and Budget offices, which include finance, budget, personnel,
environmental policy, policy analysis and acquisition. Interns receive
on-the-job training during their rotational assignments and they
also receive formal classroom training in business skills such as
customer service, briefing techniques, and automation applications;
leadership/supervisory skills; human resource/equal opportunity
program requirements; and specialty job-related knowledge.
Participants are recruited at the GS 7 level. Once the two-year
