[quote=Anonymous]Lots of college kids whose government internship was impacted by the federal hiring freeze. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/careers/2025/02/07/hiring-freeze-cancels-internships-federal-agencies#:~:text=The%20hiring%20freeze%20appears%20to,outlet%20like%20Reuters%20and%20Law360.
Kristin Comrie is set to graduate this semester with a master’s in health informatics from a fully remote program that she balances with a full-time job. But the federal hiring freeze has thrown a wrench into her plans, prompting the Veterans Health Administration to cancel her unpaid internship, which she needed to fulfill a graduation requirement.

It wasn’t easy to find an opportunity that fit in with her job and schoolwork, but the VHA internship sounded ideal; she could work remotely, and the team at the VHA seemed happy to accommodate her busy schedule. Slated to start Feb. 10, she had just finished her background check and fingerprinting when she received notice that the internship had been canceled.

“I got a generic email that they were rescinding the offer because of the federal hiring freeze,” Comrie recalled.[/quote]
