Not necessarily. The Pathways Program provides students and recent graduates with the possibility of full-time employment with the federal government. While this program makes it easier for students and recent graduates to enter the federal workforce, it does not guarantee permanent employment for every intern. Depending on the program you are part of, you will need to meet certain requirements to be eligible for full-time employment. Generally, to be eligible for conversion, an intern must complete 640 hours of service, or 320 hours if combined job performance and academic record are excellent. If all program requirements are met, the intern may be converted to a full-time employee at any agency. However, if you are part of the Recent Graduates Program, you may only be converted to a full-time employee at the agency in which you were appointed.
