Applications for the 2016-17 VSFS  program are open between July 2 and 26 on USAJOBS.gov.  Real work is waiting for students with more than 30 federal agencies including VA, NASA, the Smithsonian, the State Department, National Parks Service, and others. You can see the projects offered at http://vsfs.state.gov/!  To apply, students must log on to USAJOBS, create an account, build a resume, and upload a transcript.

This program is a great opportunity for a college student to obtain on the job training in one of a number of different fields, while making connections with people at various government agencies; and perhaps even helping pave the way for a future in government service.
