[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Federal Government will hire a bunch of C undergrads snd high school students this summer.  Those opportunities are usually posted in October at “USAjobs.gov”.  Different government components will have different timelines, some might have passed by now.

Locally, ARL in Adelphi and NIST in G’birg will hire a bunch.  For Navy sites in the area, which also will hire many, first look here: “ https://navalstem.us/”.   Most Federal internships in this area will *require* US Citizenship by law, but exceptions exist.

If your DC does not have a STEM internship, and if application deadlines have passed, then DC should (1) put together a resume (resume should focus on specific STEM skills, such as: knows how to use Linux, Windows, MacOS; can program in Python, R, Perl, C, Java, or whatever; and list specific CS or ECE courses completed with a GPA; and explicitly say at the bottom of the resume either “US Citizen” or “US Permanent Resident; XYZ citizen” whichever is correct -  and then (2) contact the various HR departments for the Federal STEm organizations within practical commute radius and submit a resume.  One never knows, something might open up.

Also, in some cases a government entity will bring on an interesting student as a contractor (e.g., if one missed the deadlines or their hiring process is too messy). Even in those cases, they usually get the resumes of candidates from their government HR office internally.[/quote]
