Why the Federal Career Intern Program is on hold

Tim McManus of the Partnership for Public Service explains why the federal intern program was put on hold.

Does the Federal Career Intern Program violate hiring rules? The Merit Systems Protection Board thinks so and has put the program on hold.

The ruling states that the government improperly placed FCIP positions in the excepted service, meaning vacancies do not have to be made public.

Tim McManus, vice president of education and outreach at the Partnership for Public Service, joined the DorobekINSIDER to discuss how the program works and the effect of the ruling.
