Bearing the Presidential moniker, 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 and
is designed to develop a cadre of potential government leaders. The PMF Program instills a lasting bond as well as a spirit of public service, ultimately
encouraging and leading to a career in the government.
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.
The PMF Class of 2013 application will be available November 5,
2012 – November 26, 2012 and will include an on-line assessment. If you score
at a sufficiently high level on the on-line assessment, are found eligible, and
your application is complete, you will be deemed a Semi-Finalist and invited to
the in-person assessment. Then, if you are selected as a Finalist, you'll be
eligible to be appointed to a participating agency in a PMF position.
Prior to applying, students are encouraged to familiarize
