Executive Order 13162 of July 6, 2000
Federal Career Intern Program
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including sections 3301 and 3302 of title 5,
United States Code, and in order to provide for the
recruitment and selection of exceptional employees for
careers in the public sector, it is hereby ordered as
follows:
Section 1. There is hereby constituted the Federal
Career Intern Program (Program). The purpose of the
Program is to attract exceptional men and women to the
Federal workforce who have diverse professional
experiences, academic training, and competencies, and
to prepare them for careers in analyzing and
implementing public programs. ``Career Intern'' is a
generic term, and agencies may use occupational titles
as appropriate.
Sec. 2. The Program is another step in the
Administration's effort to recruit the highest caliber
people to the Federal Government, develop their
professional abilities, and retain them in Federal
departments and agencies. Cabinet secretaries and
agency administrators should view the Program as
complementary to existing programs that provide career
enhancement opportunities for Federal employees, and
departments and agencies are encouraged to identify and
make use of those programs, as well as the new Program,
to meet department and agency needs.
Sec. 3. (a) The Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
shall develop appropriate merit-based procedures for
the recruitment, screening, placement, and continuing
career development of Career Interns.
(b) In developing those procedures, the OPM shall
provide for such actions as deemed appropriate to
assure equal employment opportunity and the application
of appropriate veterans' preference criteria.
Sec. 4. (a) A successful candidate shall be appointed
to a position in Schedule B of the excepted service at
the GS-5, 7, or 9 (and equivalent) or other trainee
level appropriate for the Program, unless otherwise
approved by the OPM. The appointment shall not exceed 2
years unless extended by the Federal department or
agency, with the concurrence of the OPM, for up to 1
additional year.
(b) Tenure for a Career Intern shall be governed by
the following principles and policies:
(1)
Assigned responsibilities shall be consistent with a Career Intern's
competencies and career interests, and the purposes of the Program.
(2)
Continuation in the Program shall be contingent upon satisfactory
performance by the Career Intern throughout the internship period.
(3)
Except as provided in subsections (4) and (5) of this section, service as a
Career Intern confers no rights to further Federal employment in either the
competitive or excepted service upon the expiration of the internship
period.
(4)
Competitive civil service status may be granted to a Career Intern who
satisfactorily completes the internship and meets all other requirements
prescribed by the OPM.
[[Page 43212]]
(5)
Within an agency, an employee who formerly held a career or career-
conditional appointment immediately before entering the Career Intern
Program, and who fails to complete the Career Intern Program for reasons
unrelated to misconduct or suitability, shall be placed in a career or
career-conditional position in the current agency at no lower grade or pay
than the one the employee left to accept the position in the Career Intern
Program.
Sec. 5. A Career Intern shall participate in a formal
program of training and job assignments to develop
competencies that the OPM identifies as core to the
Program, and the employing agency identifies as
appropriate to the agency's mission and needs.
Sec. 6. The OPM shall prescribe such regulations as it
determines necessary to carry out the purpose of this
order.
Sec. 7. The OPM shall provide oversight of the Program.
Sec. 8. Executive Order 12596 of May 7, 1987, is
revoked.
Sec. 9. Judicial Review. This order is intended only to
improve the internal management of the executive
branch. It does not create any right or benefit,
substantive or procedural, enforceable in law or
equity, by a party against the United States, its
agencies, its officers or employees, or any other
person.
