By: FEDweek StaffOPM has launched a “Federal Intern Experience” Program as a “standardized, high quality professional experience for interns and supplements agencies’ existing programs.”
“It offers training, impactful experiences, information, and support that early career talent needs to succeed in their internships, acquire new skills, and grow their federal careers,” says a memo on chcoc.gov.
OPM said the program and associated website offer interns training on leadership, work skills, and general competencies needed for career progression and development; opportunities to meet federal mentors; answers to frequently asked questions; and lists of resources and events.
It asked agencies to “help spread the word to your agency’s interns, supervisors, and human resources specialists to share the exciting new opportunities available to them. Your leadership is critical to inspire the next generation of government leaders, and to achieve our ambitious internship and early career talent goals.”
OPM said it is developing webinars and other resources for supervisors and others involved in overseeing interns.
