Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) Application Info Now Available

Presidential Management Fellows Program 2013
Are you interested in working for the federal government? Check out the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program.

What is the PMF program? This is a prestigious two-year paid fellowship program working with Federal Government agencies. PMF assignments include domestic and international issues, public policy, public administration, technology, science, criminal justice, health, financial management, and many other fields in support of public service programs. Note: This program is not designed to place applicants in legal positions; rather, this is a program for those interested in management, public policy, and government leadership positions. However, PMFs do rotations through other divisions or agencies, and Georgetown Law alumni have successfully moved into legal positions upon competition of their PMF commitments. Typical PMF placements for law graduates include policy analyst, budget analyst, tax law specialist, and other non-attorney positions.

How can you learn more? We will host an information session with alums later this semester. You can also check out the website at www.pmf.gov. Contact OPICS with questions!
