Federal agencies is another good place to look for internships, but the government doesn't list them in one place.

The Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) provides students with part-time federal jobs during the school year or during the summer that do not have to be directly related to their major or career goals. The Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) offers work experience directly related to a student's academic studies and requires commitments from the student, their school and the employing agency. Students may be eligible for permanent employment after completing their education and successfully meeting work requirements.

The Federal Career Intern Program brings talented people into the government at the entry level for a two-year appointment. Eligibility depends on the needs of each individual agency, but these positions must include a training component. After two years, successful federal career interns can become regular civil service employees.

The Outstanding Scholar Program allows some federal agencies to make immediate employment offers for select entry-level positions in over 100 career fields to college graduates with a 3.5 GPA or better or who graduated in the top 10 percent of their class or major. Eligible candidates receive “Outstanding Scholar Designation.” Finding these jobs can be difficult. A good place to start is USAJOBS' entry-level professional listing. Type in “scholar” as a keyword and you'll be on your way.

The Presidential Management Intern Program is a two-year program open to all graduate students in their final year of study. Applicants must first be nominated by their school and then make it through the program's rigorous evaluation program. PMI positions are structured by each individual agency and differ widely. The PMI Program is designed to groom talented people for upper-level management positions in the federal government.
