Air Force selects 32 captains for intern program

  • Published
The Air Force Intern Program Central Selection Board selected 32 captains from among 487 candidates nominated by senior raters from across the Air Force. The board was held Sept. 20 to 24 at the Air Force Personnel Center here.

The 18- to 24-month program combines hands-on experience as an intern in offices of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, secretary of defense or Air Staff as well as an opportunity to earn an Air Force-funded master's degree in organizational leadership from George Washington University.

"(The program) is an outstanding opportunity for young officers to continue their professional development and gain rare insight into senior leader decision making," said Col. Jennifer Hesterman, chief of AFPC's assignment programs and procedures division. "It prepares some of our best young officers for future key leadership positions."
