Description

The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Career Intern Program (CIP) is designed to prepare exceptional men and women who have professional experiences in agriculture and/or business, a college degree, and competencies for careers in public service with FAS.  Interns will participate in a two-year program that is designed to fine-tune their skills and abilities.  FAS hires full-time employees for international trade specialists and agricultural economist positions through the CIP.
