Internship Opportunity at the Office of Insular Affairs in Washington D.C.

The Department of the Interior’s Assistant Secretary for Insular Areas Esther Kia’aina announced the Summer 2015 openings in the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) for post-secondary level students to participate in an Insular Affairs Internship Program. 

The program is modeled closely after President Obama’s Pathways Program launched four years ago to improve recruiting efforts, offer clear paths to Federal internships for students, and to provide meaningful training and career development opportunities for individuals who are at the beginning of their Federal service.

Student applicants, who have completed 2 full years of post-high school study will learn about the workings of Washington, D.C., through first-hand experience at the Office of Insular Affairs and work closely with the Assistant Secretary for Insular Areas and other OIA leaders on federal issues impacting the insular areas.

Interested students may apply online through USAJOBS at https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/390291100, Job Announcement OS-RC-15-MM1291483 (PW).  The application period opens on January 8th, 2015, and closes on January 23rd, 2015.  Students from the U.S. territories and Freely Associated States who have completed 2 full academic years of post-high school study or an associate's degree are highly encouraged to apply.
