average hourly cost of $133.08. This would result in estimated costs in that first year of implementation of about $33,270 per agency, and about $2,661,600 in total Governmentwide.
We do not believe this rule will substantially increase the ongoing administrative costs to agencies including the administrative costs of administering the program and hiring and training new staff.
Benefits This authority will allow agencies to use strategic recruiting to hire postsecondary students to fill professional and administrative positions at general schedule GS 11 level and below. When using the authority agencies will have additional flexibility in how these students are hired. Federal agencies would determine recruitment sources and processes for the solicitation of applications and would be held responsible for merit-based selections.
This authority when combined with agencies strategic recruitment plans may help agencies better recruit to fill mission critical occupations.
This flexibility is critical to agencies ability to continue to meet current and future mission needs. Intern programs allow agencies to hire students, while in school, and provide them with on-thejob training to prepare them for a career in the Federal Government. It also introduces students to the wide range of occupations and employment opportunities that the Federal Government employs and offers. In FY
2020, the Federal Government hired fewer than 5,925 students Governmentwide a small portion of the number of interns hired under other authorities.
The low number of intern hires is insufficient to build the pipeline needed to sustain the Federal Workforce.
