Abstract of proposed collection: The 

Department’s student internship 

programs provide a key source of 

potential candidates who have an 

interest in, and are qualified, to become 

future Department employees. 

Naturally, HR/REE wants to strengthen 

and maintain its connections to this 

group, fostering and mentoring a pool of 

candidates from which to obtain 

successful recruits. 

In June 2008, HR/REE surveyed over 

3,500 former interns who served from 

2005 through spring 2008. The intern 

alumni were queried as to their 

motivation in seeking an internship, 

whether or not they had pursued a 

career with either the Foreign Service or 

Civil Service, and what their 

recommendations would be for the best 

ways for the Department to maintain 

contact after the conclusion of their 

internships. Intern alumni endorse 

continued contact with Department 

representatives mainly through 

electronic means and Web site 

reminders of career opportunities. 

In an effort to address these findings 

and provide viable solutions to 

improving student engagement prior to, 

during and following an internship, the 

Department developed an intern 

engagement strategy that will ultimately 

result in a measurable conversion of 

interns into Department hires for the 

Foreign or Civil Service. The foundation 

of this strategy is INTERNational 

Connections, a web-based career 

networking site for current, former and 

future interns that collects pertinent 

information about them, their 

experiences and their career goals. 

Methodology: Currently, the 

Department of State internship program 

employs over 1,000 participants in the 

summer, in addition to fall and spring 

internships. Unfortunately, a tracking 

system does not exist which would 

enable the Department to capture the 

intern-to-hire ratio or conversion rate, or 

track this statistic over a period of time. 

This project would provide that missing 

link. 

Users will register online at 

careers.state.gov/internconnect and 

create a profile that includes the 

aforementioned information.
