CHAPLAIN TRAINEE POSITIONS
The Bureau has established GS-11 Chaplain Trainee entry-level chaplaincy positions. These
positions exist for those who have either lack local professional ministry experience or a
graduate theological educational degree to qualify at the Staff Chaplain level. Additional
information about how institutions may pursue Chaplain Trainees is available on the Central
Office Chaplaincy Services Branch intranet page. After completing one full-year with the
agency, with at least a Fully Successful/Achieved Results evaluation, and upon completing the
academic requirements satisfactorily, the Chaplain Trainee is eligible for a subsequent
appointment at the GS-0060-12 level.
