About the Position:
ARMY PATHWAYS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: The Army Pathways Internship Program is a streamlined program which is designed to attract students enrolled in a wide variety of educational institutions (high school, home-school programs, vocational and technical, undergraduate and graduate) with paid opportunities to work in agencies and explore federal careers while still in school. This Program exposes students to jobs in the Federal Civil Service by providing meaningful developmental work at the beginning of their careers, before their career paths are fully established.The flexible nature of the program also accommodates the need to hire students to complete temporary work or projects, perform labor-intensive tasks not requiring subject matter expertise, or to work traditional "summer jobs."
