OPM: Don't Take the Interns!

OPM Director Linda Springer has weighed in on the National Treasury Employees Union lawsuit challenging the Federal Career Intern Program, calling it "unfortunate."

"In light of the pending departure of hundreds of thousands of employees to retirement, the federal government needs every available tool to ensure we have an effective workforce, including the Federal Career Intern Program which brings in approximately 10,000 employees each year," Springer said.
