The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is proposing regulations to implement the Pathways Programs established by E.O. 13562, signed December 27, 2010, to provide clear paths to Federal internships and potential careers in Government for students and recent graduates. As directed by the President, the Pathways Programs consist of:
Prospects:

Promotion:
Agencies may convert Pathways participants who successfully complete their program and academic requirements to any competitive service position for which the individual is qualified (but they arent required to do so). Even if an agency does not convert an individual, it increases the likelihood that the person will consider applying for a Federal position at some point in the future.
Limited Scope
Provides agencies a supplemental authority to use as part of an overall workforce planning strategy with oversight from OPM that could include caps on competitive service conversion.
Fairness to Veterans
Honors veterans preference when selecting from among qualified applicants, and creates more flexibility for veterans than non-veterans.
OPM Oversight
Requires agencies to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with OPM before using any of the Pathways Programs as well as annual reporting on usage.
Agency Investment
Gets beyond excepted service hiring, encourages agencies to create cohorts with common training and developmental experiences, and requires meaningful participant assessments.

Convened a public hearing to consider issues connected to hiring students and recent graduates and issued a Federal Register notice inviting the public to submit comments on three issues:

whether normal, competitive hiring is an effective avenue for bringing recent college graduates into the Federal workforce and, if so, why; if not, whether this presents a problem for the Federal Government that is sufficiently significant to warrant action or changes to policy; and if action or changes in policy are warranted, what changes should be effected and who should effect them Heard testimony from three panels of experts: agency Chief Human Capital Officers representatives from Federal employee unions and veterans service organizations representatives from good govt and academic groups. Posted the hearing transcript and issued a Federal Register notice inviting the public to make any additional comments.
Received information from OPMs qualifications and assessment experts regarding the process for overhauling the currently predominant training- and experience-based approach to qualifications and assessments. Posted materials that OPM considered as part of its review and available for comment at www.opm.gov/open.
Conclusions
graduates that can only be addressed through effective excepted service internship programs.
