Subject: Student Intern Opportunity at U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Tom:
Greetings! Hope you are doing well?
I wanted to let you know that once again U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has a Student Internship opening in our Personnel Research and Assessment Division. I appreciate all of your support in the past in letting your best students know about this opportunity!
Please forward the link below to any Industrial/Organizational graduate students who might be interested in this exciting opportunity. Upon successful completion of the internship, candidates can be noncompetitively converted to a permanent position within our group.
Our group specializes in personnel selection and supports the assessments used to hire and promote CBP employees. We handle all of the work in-house which gives the student intern the opportunity to get hands on experience in a broad range of areas. I have provided a list of some of our recent projects below.
We are looking for students with strong analytical and skills and a desire to learn.
Below is the HYPERlink to view the JOA on USAjobs:
