The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will open its Air Traffic Controller application on April 19th and close on April 22nd, 2024. FAA has found in the past that applicants have a difficult time going through the process on USAJobs. They are hosting a session assisting students through the application process and answering other questions about working for the Federal Government. Air Traffic Controllers are eligible for Security Clearances and this is a great way to start a career in the Federal Government. A representative will be present to help with any questions. 

Applicants must be U.S. Citizens to be eligible for the position. (Students with undocumented parents are still eligible). Open to All majors.
