The appointment of an employee occupying a Student Trainee position in a shortage occupation that is excepted from the competitive service under Schedule B of the Civil Service Rules shall be converted to a career-conditional or career appointment if he: (1) has successfully completed a preprofessional cooperative workstudy program and has satisfied all applicable requirements leading to the award of a bachelor's degree; (2) has had a minimum of six months' work experience in the employing agency as a Student Trainee; (3) is recommended for such appointment by his employing agency; and (4) meets all other requirements and conditions prescribed by the Commission under Section 3 of this Order.
