The June 27 memo, penned by OPM Director Kiran Ahuja, puts the responsibility on agency supervisors to make sure that internships at the federal level are a worthwhile experience in order for them to succeed at reaching broader recruitment goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are still lingering barriers that federal internship programs encounter when competing for talent. For one, some agencies advertise their openings too late; many private sector internships open their applications in late summer and fall for the following year and students hear back in the winter. The onboarding process may also take too long, and students accept other offers. Moreover, it\u2019s critical that interns are fully integrated and given meaningful work once they accept an offer, said Michelle Amante, vice president of federal workforce programs at the Partnership for Public Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you don\u2019t have agency commitment to really &#8230; create opportunities for young talent, really nurture them and foster a commitment to their success when they join the agency, then none of this works,\u201d she said in a January interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other barrier is money, as is so often the case when agencies try to expand a program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s no centralized funding for interns,\u201d Amante said. \u201cThat is part of why it takes leadership commitment to make this happen because [agencies] have to be willing to allocate money from their personnel budgets to build an intern pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, OPM has also committed to reforming the governmentwide Pathways internship program, which includes Presidential Management Fellows. This program takes a lot of the brainstorming work out of the internship operations process, as there are preset rules and eligibility criteria that agencies can adopt to fit whatever job they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OPM has not yet issued proposed rules about how it intends to change the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Future cohorts of
