3Ls: Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program
The Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program is designed to attract to the Federal service outstanding men and women from a variety of academic disciplines and career paths who have a clear interest in, and commitment to, excellence in the leadership and management of public policies and programs.
This rigorous two-year paid program includes 80 hours of formal classroom training each year, challenging assignments, accelerated promotions, developmental learning, and networking opportunities. Fellows are hired by Federal Agencies and given exposure to domestic and international issues in such areas as public administration, technology, science, criminal justice, health and financial management, to name a few. Two Case Western Reserve University School of Law Class of 2008 graduates, three Class of 2007 and two Class of 2006 graduates are currently serving as Fellows through this program!
The PMF Program seeks graduate students who want to make a difference through public service. Students who complete a graduate degree (master’s, law, or doctoral-level degree) during the 2007-2008 academic year (September 1, 20087 - August 31, 2009) are eligible to be nominated by their schools. Selection begins with the nomination of the student by the school followed by a rigorous assessment process. Application, nomination, and selection information is available online at https://www.pmf.opm.gov.
Important, please read carefully:
Between Wednesday, October 1 and 11:59:59 pm EST on Wednesday, October 15, complete and submit the online application (the vacancy announcement and online application is at www.usajobs.gov). After submitting the online application, you will print a copy of the Nomination Form.
However, you must submit the nomination form to the Career Services Office.

In addition, if you have any questions about this program or the application process, please ask me or someone else in the CSO! This is a terrific program!
