To expand opportunities for employment of recent graduates in Federal Government positions, and for other purposes.
HR 5681, the Pipeline to Service Act, creates a new program through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to connect recent college graduates with federal jobs. It requires OPM to partner with colleges to offer career advising, resume training, and job search support on USAJobs.gov, with specific outreach to historically underrepresented communities. The bill also raises the minimum hourly pay for federal interns to $15 (adjusted annually by inflation), increases Presidential Management Fellows Program positions by 200%, and mandates annual public reporting on intern demographics and placement. This directly affects recent graduates seeking federal careers, particularly those from minority-serving institutions and community colleges, while requiring federal agencies to track diversity in hiring.
