Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill aims to strengthen the pipeline of talented individuals into federal government careers. It creates partnerships between the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and colleges/universities to recruit students, and significantly expands and reforms the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program to double its size and improve fellowship development.
Who Benefits and How
Students at universities (especially minority-serving institutions, community colleges, and land-grant universities) benefit from new career advising, professional development workshops, and job placement assistance. Recent graduate school graduates gain expanded opportunities through the doubled PMF Program, with clearer pathways to permanent federal positions. Federal agencies benefit from a larger pool of trained, qualified candidates.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Federal agencies must allocate resources to implement partnerships, fund rotational assignments, provide 80+ hours of annual training per Fellow, and pay placement fees. The Office of Personnel Management faces increased administrative responsibilities coordinating expanded programs. Taxpayers fund the expanded fellowship positions and training programs.
Key Provisions
- Creates OPM-university partnerships to recruit students into federal careers with career counseling and professional development
- Doubles the number of Presidential Management Fellows positions through fiscal year 2031
- Requires agencies to provide Fellows with 80 hours of formal training annually, mentors, and developmental rotations
- Establishes or continues 26 Federal Executive Boards in major metropolitan areas to coordinate field operations
