HHS Careers

#Students and #RecentGrads: Big changes to the federal government's #PathwaysPrograms take effect today to boost opportunities for early career talent such as you! Here are some of the highlights: -Agencies can now hire #RecentGraduates at a GS-11 starting salary instead of being limited to a GS-09 starting salary, affording enhanced flexibility to applicants and agencies.   -Applicant eligibility for the Recent Graduates program has expanded to include individuals who may or may not have college degrees, but who have completed qualifying career or technical education programs, including Peace Corps, AmeriCorps, Job Corps, and Registered Apprenticeships.  -Agencies can now convert #interns to a permanent federal position after they complete a minimum of 480 hours in their internship, instead of 640 hours.   Check out the complete list of changes, with which federal agencies must be in full compliance no later than December 9, 2024: https://lnkd.in/ekdbrfD8

🗓️ Mark your calendars, #RecentGraduates! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Associate Program for Recent Graduates (PHAP) is opening early this year! #PHAP is a competitive, two-year, paid training CDC program in which associates are assigned to public health agencies and nongovernmental organizations to work alongside other professionals across a variety of public health settings. Associates gain hands-on experience that serves as a foundation for their public health careers. After graduating from PHAP, associates are qualified to convert non-competitively to full-time positions at CDC and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As a PHAP associate, Josh Sievers is gaining hands-on experience while tackling some of public health’s biggest threats. Learn more about PHAP and what being an associate is all about! https://lnkd.in/g_G9Zmaf #RecentGrads #CDC
