The White House Fellows Program provides emerging leaders first-hand experience in the American government process. Selected officer candidates work for a year as special assistants or senior executives to cabinet-level agencies or in the executive office. A nonpartisan program, participants experience the process of governing the nation, working with high-level public servants and participating in roundtable discussions with notable private sector and public leaders. Selectees must be available for reassignment. Nomination packages are due by July 31 for the 2016-2017 programs.
