NHP utilizes the Recent Graduates Program, which requires candidates to have graduated from college within the past 2 years (June 2017 or later); Veterans may apply up to 6 years after graduating, if military obligations intervened. Candidates will compete for a limited number of positions and will be selected based on their academic performance, experience, and selected
MOSAIC Competencies. A rigorous candidate evaluation process will ensure we select the best and brightest.
