Applications now being accepted for the Presidential Management Fellows Program

The PMF Program is a flagship leadership development program at the entry level for advanced degree candidates. The Program attracts and selects the best candidates possible, but is really designed with a more narrow focus - developing a cadre of potential government leaders.

In addition to salary and benefits, the PMF Program gives you a lot in return for your hard work. Your two-year appointment will provide a fast-paced opportunity to gain experience and develop your talents. You will be challenged with opportunities to flourish into a problem solver, strategic thinker and future leader. In addition to working at a single Federal agency, you may have the option to participate in a rotational opportunity at another agency. These rotational opportunities will challenge you even further and give you insight into how other areas of government operate.

While serving as a PMF, you will receive:

• 160 hours of formal classroom training (on leadership, management, policy and other topics)
  
• Challenging work assignments
  
• Feedback on your work
  
• At least one 4 to 6 month developmental assignment
  
• Potential for accelerated promotions
  
• A certificate of completion, which permits immediate appointment to a position in the competitive or excepted service and carries prestige anywhere you go thereafter

Eligibility:  Open to U.S. citizens who have graduated between December 2010 and August 31, 2013
