Presidential Management Intern Program Description Provides a special means of entry into the Federal service for recipients of graduate degrees. Interns will receive two-year appointments to developmental positions at the Federal government, with possible transition into civil service jobs.
Internships focus on career development.
Assignments as a PMI may involve domestic or international issues, technological changes, criminal justice, health research, financial management, and many other fields in support of public service programs. Federal departments and agencies strive to provide interns with challenging and rewarding assignments. All cabinet departments and more than 50 federal agencies have hired Presidential Management Interns. PMIs receive an initial two-year appointment. After successfully completing the two-year program, PMIs may be eligible for conversion to a permanent government position and further promotional opportunities.
