What’s the Recent Graduates Program?
The recent graduate program is for those who have graduated, within the past two years, from a qualifying educational institution or certificate program. The recent
graduate program offers career development with training and mentorship.
This one-year paid program is designed to provide an opportunity to those
individuals who lack experience to participate in Federal government jobs,
enabling them to develop on the job as they establish their career.
A huge perk of this program is that upon successful completion of the one-year program, you
are eligible for conversion to a position with a GS-12 full-performance level.
