The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA invites currently enrolled college students to apply for the Summer Intern Program (SIP). Attached is the current listing of internship vacancy announcements available for summer 2010. Application forms and information are included.
USDA Mission Areas and Agencies are identified for you in the materials. USDA Agency contact information is provided at the end of each vacancy announcement.
The Summer Intern Program provides an opportunity for college students to gain experience as assistants in scientific, professional, and technical areas. The SIP consists of paid internships that give students an opportunity to gain career experience and to strongly consider future employment with USDA.
USDA welcomes SIP applications from all college students, including students with disabilities. USDA interns must be a U.S. Citizen, must be currently enrolled in a college or university, and must be planning to continue their education (enrolled for fall 2010).
Please note that each intern position vacancy has its own deadline (closing date). Also, the individual USDA Agencies may post additional summer positions on their own websites, so be sure to check throughout the spring for further updates. The USDA Agency websites can be located through the USDA website at www.usda.gov.
Any questions about the individual internship announcements should be directed to the contact person at the end of each announcement.
