Opportunities at NRCS

NRCS recently opened its Pathways Internship and Recent Graduates positions on USA Jobs.  We are working towards hiring thousands of new staff to help with the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act. I hope you will take a few moments to help us spread the word about these job opportunities to help us meet our staffing goals.  The Pathways Internship vacancy closes Tuesday, February 20th, and the Recent Graduates vacancy closes Monday, February 26th.

The Pathways Internship positions are available to students from high school up to the graduate school level. The Recent Graduates positions are available to students who apply within two years of receiving a degree or certificate of completion. Those who successfully complete the Pathways Internship or Recent Graduates Program can be eligible for non-competitive conversion to permanent, fulltime positions.  

These programs provide a great opportunity for students and recent graduates to gain hands-on experience in natural resource management, and give NRCS the opportunity to see if they will be a good fit for our agency.  

Again, please share these vacancy announcements with anyone you feel would be a great future member of our NRCS team. You can also share the NRCS Careers website, which contains a lot of good information about employment opportunities with us.
