By: FEDweek StaffOPM told agencies to report by February 17 on their projected use of the Pathways Program, noting the Biden administration’s executive order to “increase availability of paid internships, fellowships, apprenticeships, and other early career programs.”
The reports are to address current fiscal year plans for hiring under each of its three elements–interns, recent graduates, and Presidential Management Fellows—including information such as job title, series and grade, whether the positions is in a mission-critical occupation, and the share of overall hiring.
