The DON HR Intern Program is designed to ensure a systematic approach to building core competencies and developing the skill sets required to fulfill HR’s emerging roles as strategic partners, change agents, consultants and multi-faceted technical experts.

The two-year program is designed to serve as a key source of intake of high potential HR Professionals into the DON HR Community. Prospective applicants should have completed a four-year undergraduate education with an excellent academic standing, gained varied professional experiences and possess a clear interest in and a commitment to a career in human resources. Developmental opportunities include formal classroom training coupled with rotational work assignments at various Navy or Marine Corps regional service centers and command human resources offices across the DON.
