What the agency says
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing this final rule to align the Pathways Programs with the Federal Government's needs for recruiting and hiring interns and recent graduates. Robust Pathways Programs, with appropriate safeguards to promote their use as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, the competitive hiring process, are essential to boosting the Federal Government's ability to recruit and retain early career talent.
