KSU offers workshop to apply for federal internships and jobs

Posted on November 3, 2016

FRANKFORT — The USDA Office of Advocacy and Outreach – 1890 Programs in partnership with the U.S. Forest Service and Kentucky State University’s College of Agriculture, Food Sciences, and Sustainable Systems is working to help students apply for federal internships and employment opportunities through the Pathways Employment Process. The organizations will host a workshop on this subject on from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, November 7 in conference room 238 of the Cooperative Extension Building on Kentucky State University’s main Frankfort campus.

Due to changes to the Federal Employment Guidelines, all federal positions including summer internship opportunities must be advertised and applied for through the Pathways Employment Process. This workshop will ensure that students at KSU – an 1890 Land Grant University – are aware, competitive, and prepared for the opportunities offered by the federal government.

Workshop leaders will review the process for applying to federal jobs and internships on usajobs.gov, and will discuss how to create a profile and federal resume on the site. This workshop is open to all students, department heads, faculty, and staff at Kentucky State University.

To review Pathways before the workshop, visit www.usajobs.gov. If you have questions, contact Ed L. Thompson, USDA 1890 Program Liason at ed.thompson@osec.usda.gov.
