Pathways Internship Programsdn2022-08-04T08:38:23-04:00

PATHWAYS INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS

The U.S. Department of State’s Pathways Internship Program includes both
the Internship Experience Program (IEP) and the Internship Temporary Program
(ITEP). Both programs are targeted toward U.S. citizens enrolled in a wide
variety of educational institutions from high school to graduate school and
professional academic levels. Both programs provide students with opportunities
to explore Federal careers while being paid for the work performed.


INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE PROGRAM (IEP)

Interns in this program are appointed to non-temporary, excepted service
appointments, expected to last the length of the academic program for which the
intern is enrolled. IEP participants, while in the program, are eligible for
noncompetitive promotions if they meet the developed qualification standards for
the position. IEP interns are also eligible for federal employee benefits (e.g.
life, health, and retirement). IEP participants are eligible for noncompetitive
conversions to the competitive service within 120 days of program completion.


INTERNSHIP TEMPORARY PROGRAM (ITEP)

The temporary nature of the ITEP allows for interns to work during seasonal and
holiday breaks in academic programs as well as year-round. Interns in this
program are appointed to temporary appointments, not to exceed one year or their
projected graduation date (whichever is shorter) and extensions may be made in
one year increments. The positions to which the interns are appointed have no
promotion potential, therefore, students must apply through USAJOBS to be
considered for higher-graded positions. ITEP participants who are expected to
work 130 hours per month or more for at least 90 days will be eligible to enroll
in a health benefits plan. ITEP participants are not eligible for any other
benefits until after conversion into the competitive service. ITEP participants
are eligible for noncompetitive conversions to the competitive service within
120 days of completion of the Pathways Program.


FOR SPECIFIC INQUIRIES ON THE PATHWAYS INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS (ITEP AND IEP),
PLEASE CONTACT PATHWAYS@STATE.GOV

Eligibility Requirements
 * U.S. Citizenship
 * Must be at least 16 years of age by the closing date of the announcement
 * You will be subject to random drug testing
 * Be able to receive with a Secret or Top Secret security clearance
 * Must maintain student eligibility for duration of internship*
 * Cumulative GPA of 2.0 at time of application and throughout internship
   appointment

* A student means you have been accepted for enrollment, or are enrolled as a
degree-seeking student in an accredited college or university at least half
time. You may also be currently enrolled in high school for some positions. Your
degree does not have to be related to the position/series you apply for.

Qualification Requirements

Qualification Requirements by Grade and Level of Education TableGradeLevel of
EducationGS-1Enrolled in a high school or General Education Diploma (GED)
program.GS-2Completion of high school diploma or equivalent.GS-3Completion of 1
full academic year of post-high school study.GS-4Completion of 2 full academic
years of post-high school study or an associate’s degree.GS-5Completion of 4
academic years of post-high school leading to a bachelor’s degree or equivalent
degree.GS-7Completion of 1 full academic year of graduate-level education; OR
Eligibility under the Superior Academic Achievement Provision and completion of
a bachelor’s degree.GS-9Completion of 2 academic years of graduate level
education, or a master’s degree or equivalent graduate degree.GS-11For
non-research positions, completion of all requirements for a Ph.D. or equivalent
degree.
For research positions, completion of all requirements for a master’s or
equivalent graduate degree.

Academic years are computed as follows:

At the undergraduate level, successfully completed education that has not led to
possession of a degree is credited based on its relationship to 120 semester
hours or 180 quarter hours. For example, 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours
is comparable to 1 year of undergraduate education. Four years of progressive
study or 120 semester hours meets the degree requirements. Additional credit
cannot be given for duplicate course work.

An academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credit
hours that the school attended has determined to represent 1 academic year of
full-time study. This determination is made based on normal course loads for a
full year of study in the graduate program. If that information cannot be
obtained from the school, 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours should be
considered as satisfying the 1 year of full-time study requirement. Part-time
graduate education is creditable in accordance with its relationship to a year
of full-time study at the school attended.

When academic credit is expressed in contract months, units, or other terms that
differ from conventional semester or quarter hours, it is the responsibility of
the applicant to provide an interpretation of such credits from the appropriate
institution in order to equate them to the semester or quarter hours specified
in the standard.

While the government uses at least six different pay scales, the majority of
Civil Service employees are paid using the GS (General Schedule) pay scale. The
General Service pay scale for Civil Service employees features 15 pay grades,
GS-1 (lowest) – GS-15 (highest) with 10 steps within each grade. You can visit
the GS pay scale
here: https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages.

You can review our benefits at: https://careers.state.gov/career-paths/benefits.

Employees hired under the Pathways Programs on appointments for 90 days or more
are eligible to earn annual and sick leave. Interns hired under the Internship
Temporary Experience Program (ITEP) are considered temporary employees and are
generally eligible to enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefit Program if
they are expected to work 130 hours per month or more for at least 90 days, in
accordance with 5 CFR 890.102. Those who meet the criteria laid out in these
provisions will receive the same government contribution as full-time permanent
employees. There is no provision for temporary employees to be eligible for life
insurance coverage.

Prospective candidates may apply for a Pathways position only when one is
announced in a position Vacancy Announcement on the USAJOBS online application
site. Candidates may wish to sign up for email notifications to be notified when
new positions become available. Once an announcement is posted
on www.USAJOBS.gov, complete applications (to include all required documents)
must be submitted electronically through the “Gateway to State” system.
