President Obama signed Executive Order 13562, “Recruiting and Hiring Students and Recent Graduates,” on Dec. 27, 2010. Te order established the internship program for current undergraduates, and the Recent Graduates Program for those who have recently graduated from qualifying educational institutions or programs. It also reinvigorated the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program for individuals who have obtained an advanced degree within the preceding two years.


Collectively referred to as the Pathways programs, these initiatives are tailored to promote employment opportunities in the federal workforce for students and recent graduates.


Te new Pathway programs became


effective July 10, 2012, for current stu- dents and recent graduates. All PEO EIS current and new hires in SCEP and the

continuous career-developing


employment opportunities for graduated Pathways interns in a career field of inter- est. Tis program established a structured process to further educate entry-level employees and provide full-time experi- ence with training and developmental opportunities in the interns’ respective career fields.


PEO EIS currently sponsors 14 Path- ways participants and has transitioned 18 interns into the Local and Developmen- tal Intern Program. Pathways is tailored to support not only the organization’s mission but also participants’ career goals
