Are there opportunities for mentoring?
Each Bureau or Office has experienced/senior Honors Paralegals (generally one with at least a year of FTC experience) who assume informal mentoring roles. These paralegal mentors serve as resources for information about working at the FTC, paralegal duties, and transitioning to life in Washington, D.C. Finally, the Bureaus of Competition and Consumer Protection have formal mentoring programs that are open to paralegals. In addition, the Honors Paralegals work closely with attorneys and investigators who share institutional knowledge and expertise, and allow Honors Paralegals to broaden their skills, knowledge, and perspectives so that they are better prepared for future career opportunities and challenges.
