Examples of relevant educational fields for this position include but are not limited to:
Civil Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or other Engineering-related disciplines that will allow applicants to qualify for the conversion requirements listed within the vacancy announcement upon graduation. This internship is intended to last for more than one year in order for the selected applicants to gain the required experience and meet all the requirements of the pathways program. One full academic year of graduate education is defined as 18 semester hours or the equivalent as defined by the accredited college or university. Position
Qualifications:
Applicants must meet position qualifications requirements as shown below at the time of appointment. The agency must be able to verify that the education was completed successfully before the applicant can be appointed. Below is the education requirement to be qualified for this position:
GS-02 level:
Completion of high school or possession of a GED diploma. GS-03 level:
Completion of 1 full academic year of post-high school study. One full academic year of undergraduate education is defined as 30 semester hours, 45 quarter hours or the equivalent as defined by the accredited college or university. Conversion Information:
Candidates selected from this announcement may be eligible for non-competitive conversion to the entry-level for the target occupation within 120 days of successful degree completion. Non-competitive conversion is to a permanent position in the competitive service, provided that all terms of the Internship Program are met and there is an available position. Entry level for these positions are typically at the GS-05, GS-07 or GS-09. The actual grade level at the time of conversion depends on academic achievement and other factors. Conversion is not mandatory or guaranteed and is at agency discretion Pathways Interns may convert to a permanent position for which they qualify for (e.g., GS-0810/0890). Upon conversion to the competitive service, this position will have a career ladder up to the GS-11 full performance level.
