the renewal of its workforce. To provide a systematic way for acquiring and developing
entry level employees for mission-critical career fields,  the Department of the Interior has developed
several occupationally-oriented Career Intern Programs. These programs ensure the
necessary analysis, planning, recruiting, training, and career enhancing activities take
place for the Department and its bureaus to attract and retain a high-quality, diverse
workforce. Listed below are Career Intern Programs that are currently in operation
or under development. You may wish to visit this site from time to time. As new
