Specializing in multi-semester experiences, the NASA Pathways Internship Program prepares you for a career at NASA and offers a direct pipeline to full-time employment at NASA upon graduation. NASA is accepting applications on USAJobs beginning Wed, Aug 14! (Note: The vacancies will not appear until they open on Aug 14, but you can prepare ahead of time!)

The Pathway opportunities will close on Wed, Aug 21. Due to the short window, if you are interested in applying, it’s a good idea to start prepping your application now.

To begin the process, follow these steps:

• Prepare your application. Visit USAJobs.gov to create your profile, build your resume, and set up a notification that will alert you when the positions open. (TIP: To search for jobs even when you're not online, click the "Saved Searches" function in USAJOBs. Saved searches will automatically search for jobs based on your criteria and email you when there are new jobs available.).
