It is intended to offer on-the-job training and support for service-disabled veterans seeking to apply their skills in new career roles. The position is limited to an average of 29 hours per work week, not to exceed 1500 work hours in the wage fiscal year ending April 30th of each annual year.

Internship placement depends on aptitudes and interests, and could be in areas such as planning, finance, project management, security, procurement, quality control, information systems, engineering, civil rights, and human resources.
