Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) application opens today!
Bearing the Presidential moniker, the PMF Program is a flagship leadership development program at the entry level for advanced degree candidates. It was created more than three decades ago by Executive Order and has gone through many changes over the years. 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. It provides some sustenance during the first years of employment and encourages development of leadership capabilities. The PMF Program inculcates a lasting bond as well as a spirit of public service, ultimately encouraging and leading to a career in the government. The PMF Class of 2022 Application will open at Noon (Eastern Time), Tuesday, September 28, 2021, and close at Noon (Eastern Time), Tuesday, October 12, 2021.
The application will be accessible via an announcement on USAJOBS (www.USAJOBS.gov) once the application opens. The Timeline below will be updated when information becomes available.
Please review the updated PMF Applicant Handbook for an overview of the application process, noting that this year’s handbook also includes the “Assessment Preparation Guide.” The handbook can be found on the Resources webpage.
In addition, please review the Eligibility, Application Process, Assessment Process, and FAQs webpages for additional information about the application and how to prepare for it.
