*Needs and Uses:*                     The information collection is required to evaluate the DoD Work Experience Programs in support of the DoD STEM Office. The intent of the survey collection is to evaluate the participants' perspective on the program, what attracted them to the program, what they accomplished during the program and expected benefits from participation, along with any obstacles or barriers they had to overcome to participate. The survey's intended population is participants in DoD-funded work experience programs. The programs include internships, post-doctoral, and similar positions where the participants are working at or for DoD organizations while also receiving                           ( print page 15966)                        mentorship. All of the respondents will be adults, either currently in college or recently graduated. Some of the respondents will be Federal civilians and others may be classified as contractors (working for DoD and being paid from DoD funds). Survey participation will be anonymous and data will be reported only in aggregated form.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.
