Apply as soon as possible as the posting will
close when 50 applications have been received.
The Health Division at the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) is soon looking for applicants qualified to perform as
student health budget specialists, in support of the President, the Director of
OMB, and other OMB officials, through the
Pathways Internship Program. The Pathways Internship Program is designed to attract
students enrolled in educational institutions with paid opportunities to work
in agencies and explore Federal careers while still in school. This program
exposes students to jobs in the Federal civil service by providing meaningful
development work. Candidates must be currently
enrolled in a degree-seeking program based in the Washington D.C. metropolitan
area.
OMB is ideally looking for
candidates with a
background or an interest in public policy or health care. Students studying
public administration, public policy, and/or public health are particularly
encouraged to apply. Strong organizational skills, communication (oral and
written) skills, analytical ability, and dependability are a must. The Health Division is committed to creating a
multicultural and supportive work environment and strongly encourages
applications from candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence
of the Division.
Applicants will need to submit a
formatted USAJobs resume and respond to a short questionnaire. Note, the
posting will remain open for a limited time or until 50 applications are
received, whichever comes sooner. Previous postings have closed as quickly as
one day, so we highly encourage qualified and interested candidates to apply
as early as possible.
This is a year-round internship and the intent of the position
is that the student is able to work at least 640 hours while still in school in
order to be eligible for non-competitive
conversion into a Federal career or career-conditional position. Internships
will be paid and interns should expect to commit up to approximately 30 hours
weekly while school is in session and can work up to a full-time basis during
school breaks. U.S. Citizenship is required.
OMB serves the President of the
United States in developing a Budget and legislative program, in overseeing
execution of enacted legislation, and in implementing the Administration’s
vision across the Executive Branch. The Health Division is responsible for the
review of policy, budget, legislative, and management issues related to
Medicare, Medicaid, private health insurance market reforms, and a variety of
public health and health research programs that are mainly operated under the
Department of Health and Human Services. The Health Division currently
manages more than one-fourth of the Federal budget and engages in analysis,
planning, and policy formulation to improve programmatic quality, efficiency,
and financial management. Please see the attached document for further
information on OMB and the Health Division.
