Summer Internships

On December 27, 2010, Executive Order 13562 was signed by the President to establish the Pathways Program.  This program replaced the Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) and the Student Career Employment Program (SCEP).  The Pathways Program has different programs that best suits the student.  In the Internship Program, ERS hires students for positions in the summer.  The summer internship program provides paid opportunities for the student to work full-time or half-time until September 30^th.  A student must be enrolled full-time or half-time at an accredited school (high school, technical or vocational school, 2 or 4 year college, university, graduate, or professional school) and be in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or better).  All student positions are advertised via usajobs.gov.  The student must submit all required documents via usajobs.gov.  Applications must be received by 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on March 4, 2013.
