Presidential Management Intern (PMI) Program

This is a highly selective government-wide recruitment program targeted
at Master's Degree level graduates. The selection process, which includes
merit principles and veterans' preference provisions, is run by OPM.
Successful candidates receive an excepted service appointment with OPM,
which then matches them with agencies who have been given a PMI authorization.

PMIs are hired at the GS-9 level, and have promotion potential to GS-11
after the first year. PMIs who are U.S. citizens may be converted to
permanent appointments at the completion of the program. PMIs are eligible
for all standard government benefits; they may also be eligible for student
loan repayment, and a retention bonus of up to $25,000 upon completion of the
program.

Defense Career Intern Program (DCIP)

This is a non-competitive recruitment program managed and implemented by
Defense Components using a special hiring authority created by OPM implementing an Executive Order Merit Systems Principles, Federal qualification standards, and veterans' preference apply to the program. Hiring managers directly recruit and desired individual(s) for a two-year internship beginning at a pay level up to GS-9. DCIP employees may be promoted while serving the internship. OPM authority is required if the hiring component wishes to recruit above the GS-9 level, or to extend internships beyond two years. DCIP positions do not have to be publicly advertised. Each intern must complete a formal training and development program during the internship. DCIP interns are non-competitively converted to permanent appointments upon satisfactory completion of the internship. Interns who are U.S. citizens may be converted to permanent appointments at the completion of the program. DCIP employees are eligible for all standard government benefits during the two-year internship. Recruitment, retention, and relocation bonuses of up to 25 per cent of basic pay may be paid. Student loan repayment of up to $6,000 per year or $40,000 total may be paid.

In addition to these Intern Programs, several of the Defense Agencies have their own Intern Programs. Contact them through their respective websites or call 888-DOD4USA for assistance.
