Does the student have to serve the summer internship at the Federal, state, or city agency that will employ him or her upon graduation?
No. The student may serve the summer internship at another Federal, state, or city agency. However, the nature of the work assignments must meet program requirements. Moreover, for several reasons, it is strongly recommended that the summer internship be served at the agency that will ultimately hire the student. For example, the summer internship provides the environment that helps create a bond between the student and the employer. It also provides the participant the opportunity to meet and work with the agency’s cadre of information assurance professionals and become familiar with the agency’s information assurance needs and programs. Additionally, the summer internship should be an integral part of a mentoring process that should span throughout the entire academic and employment phases of the program. Therefore, Federal, state, or city agencies are exhorted to refrain from making post-graduation placement offers to participants who served the summer internship at another Federal,
