Palace Acquire Program (for recent grads up to 2 years)

If you’ve graduated with a bachelor’s or master’s within the last two years, you may be eligible to enroll in AFCS’ PAQ or COP Program. Those with a master’s or bachelor’s degree and real-world experience may qualify for higher-level opportunities.

PAQ is a paid, full-time, two to three-year training program for graduates interested in Science and Engineering, Financial Management, Cyber/IT, Civil Engineering, Intel, and more. Your training includes promotions and yearly salary increases based on performance and supervisor approval. Upon successful completion of the training plan, you’ll be offered a permanent position at AFCS, making it the perfect vehicle to launch the career you’ve worked so hard for.

Here’s some developmental/intern options to check out below that are currently being advertised on USAJOBS. Just put in the desired ZIP code and Hiring Path of “Students” and/or “Recent Graduates”.  And also look around for “open to the public” or “veterans” announcements if you are helping a friend/relative find a job.  Job listings change constantly, so make sure they sign up for email notifications.
