CLIN 0001: National Archives Participation in the National Hispanic Internship Program. Description (1) Background and Scope; The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has a critical need to expand its recruitment presence in the Hispanic community. NARA’s Strategic Plan calls for NARA to strive toward increasing the percentages of NARA employees in underrepresented groups to match their respective availability levels in the civilian labor force. Currently, Hispanics comprise only 1.3 percent of NARA’s workforce and traditional recruitment methods alone are not enough to address this problem. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has instructed Federal agencies to look to alternative sources for Hispanic applicants. In an effort to meet the expectations set forth in the Strategic Plan, NARA is seeking to partner with an internship organization that can assist NARA in expanding its outreach in the Hispanic community. Specifically, NARA is seeking assistance in filling fifteen (15) vacant intern positions for the summer 2009. The internships will focus on locating, researching, and organizing archival documents and records of particular interest to Hispanic communities. Interns must meet the following qualifications: •Be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program in an archives or related field of study (e.g., history, library and information science, museum studies, etc.); •Be a student in good academic standing as defined by the college or university in which the student is enrolled; •Demonstrated experience and/or interest in the archival field or related profession. •Be available for a ten-week period beginning June 8, 2009. The partner organization must be able to provide the following services: •Market NARA internship opportunities to eligible applicants; •Identify, recruit, evaluate, and process applicants for identified NARA internship positions; •Facilitate travel and housing arrangements for the selected interns; •Provide a structured program of academic and social activities to supplement the internship experience; •Provide ongoing counseling and programmatic support to the interns throughout their internship experience. The partner organization must be able to provide these services within sufficient time to meet the start date of the NARA summer internship program: June 8, 2009. In particular, intern applications and other relevant materials must be available for NARA to review by March 24, 2009 in order to allow sufficient time for the interview and selection process.
