USDA - Student Opportunities

USDA's student opportunities are designed to combine academic studies with on-the-job training and experience and to give students an opportunity to work with USDA while completing their education. USDA provides undergraduate and graduate students with paid opportunities to serve as assistants to scientific, professional, administrative, and technical employees.  Each USDA Mission Area or Agency manages its own programs.  USDA also provides opportunities for persons to fulfill their career goals through challenging internships that provide a path to permanent employment.
