Intern Program Develops Leaders for the 21st Century
The NIH Management Intern Program is celebrating its 43rd anniversary. So if you're looking to change careers, this is a program with a proven track record. Many of the interns have gone on to obtain successful, high level managerial positions with NIH and other federal agencies.
The program uses entry-level career development training designed for outstanding men and women who have a clear interest in and commitment to a career in public service. Via rotational assignments, interns are introduced to potential administrative career tracks, i.e., grants and contracts management, general administration, human resources management, budget, legislation, information technology, human resource management, public affairs, legislative analysis and program/management analysis.
 | NIH recently welcomed seven new NIH Management Interns. They are (top, from l) Jason Donaldson, VerLyn Francisco, Allyson Browne, Julie Townshend and James Washington. In front are (from l) Shelma Grant and Wendy Hadfield. |
