Additionally, recruits will receive mentoring from well-respected and experienced survey methodologists, demographers, economists, researchers and data collection experts, and will be offered opportunities to make work contributions that could potentially impact the agency's survey data collection, analysis and dissemination methods and techniques. Generally, recruits will spend two years in the developmental program. Upon successful completion of the program, recruits will be assigned to a program area within the organization.

About Us
The Bureau serves as the leading source of quality data about the nation's people and economy. There are four major surveys that represent the work of the Bureau: the Population and Housing Census (also referred to as the decennial census); the Economic Census; the Census of Governments; and, the American Community Survey (ACS). Data collected from these, and other surveys conducted throughout the decade, enables policymakers to appropriate more than $400 billion in federal funds annually, produces a general view and comprehensive study of the nation's social and economic conditions, and yields information used for decision making by businesses, city planners, nonprofit organizations and individual Americans.

This announcement will be used to establish a standing inventory. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for vacancies as positions become available at the Census Bureau. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for vacancies until selected or their eligibility expires. For information concerning the period of eligibility, please see the "What To Expect Next" section of this announcement.
