Military Spouses Internship Program

Congress recently authorized the new Military Spouses Internship Pilot Program, which allows federal agencies to hire military spouses into permanent internships and authorizes the Department of Defense to reimburse those hiring agencies for the first year’s expenses. These expenses include salary, training and benefits costs. Spouses of active duty members may receive consideration for jobs in federal agencies. Many positions are full time with potential for career advancement. Some are portable so spouses can stay with them even if they military spouse is relocated.
