GovExec Daily: OPM Makes It Easier For Agencies to Hire Interns

Internships are a good way for young people to get experience in their preferred line of work, a way to buttress a resume and a way for organizations to create a pipeline for young employees. Federal agencies have strict regulations on internship programs and how they can put interns onto a path of full employment, but the Office of Personnel Management is in the process of issuing regulations to make it easier for federal agencies to pay and offer jobs to their interns who are still in college.

GovExec senior reporter Erich Wagner covers the federal workforce. He joined the show to discuss the new OPM regulations and other stories that affect federal employees.
