Federal Government Employment Opportunities

Roanoke College is proud to be a participant in the Partnership for Public Service and the Call to Serve initiative.  As such, we are committed to providing activities to educate students, staff and faculty about the many federal opportunities for students and graduates.  If you are looking for a place to launch a successful career and where you will have a role in addressing our nation's biggest challenges, then take a closer look at federal service.  Visit www.makingthedifference.org to view entry-level openings and federal internships, search by major to find job profiles that fit your skills and interests, get tips to find and apply fo federal jobs and internships, learn how the government can help repay your student loans, and find ways to earn a good salary, get great benefits, and still have a life outside of work!

The Federal Government will be greatly increasing its recruitment activities in the next few years, as they approach a time when about one-third of their employees become eligible for early retirement.  They are also interested in students to work in summer employment opportunities as a training ground for potential new employees.  Interested candidates may search current vacancies on: 

www.usajobs.opm.gov, or at

www.studentjobs.gov.

Following is a partial list of Federal agencies, with web sites for those individual agencies.  You are encouraged to visit the agency web site for descriptions of career opportunities, to find out employment requirements, and to make a contact with the hiring specialist for the respective agency.
