Good morning Dr. Howery, 
I hope this email finds you well. Below is information related to USDA- FPAC (NRCS, FSA, and RMA) pathways opportunities that are expected to be announced starting Oct. 13th.
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
The USDA-Farm Production & Conservation (FPAC) Mission Area will soon be announcing over 700 Pathways opportunities beginning next month (October).  FPAC agencies include the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS); Farm Services Agency (FSA); Risk Management Agency (RMA) and the FPAC Business Center.
 
Here is a new public-facing FPAC link with career information for students.  It includes more information on the various occupations and some general qualifications criteriahttps://www.fpacbc.usda.gov/careers/
 
Below is a schedule with the anticipated dates and type of job announcements by FPAC Agency.  As always, all job announcements will be posted onwww.usajob.gov, and in most cases, will be open for approximately a 5-day period.  Students/Applicants are encouraged to apply early in the announcement period, as our HR folks will impose applicant cut offs based on the volume of applications.

As precautionary health measures are put in effect nationwide to reduce the spread of coronavirus, the USDA is taking steps to ensure the safety of its employees and customers. USDA Service Centers are open for business by phone appointment only. While our program delivery staff will continue to come into the office, they will be working with our agriculture producers by phone and using email and online tools whenever possible. Producers should contact their local service center by phone to schedule time for program or loan services needed.
