We hope this message finds you safe and healthy. We have some important information and updates to share with all of you related to the upcoming PMF Class of 2022 Application Cycle, including information sessions for prospective applicant. The PMF program is one of the feeder programs into the federal government. Roughly 10% of federal government leaders went through the PMF program. Here’s a recent article about increasing the diversity of the programhttps://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce/2021/06/opm-vows-to-improve-pmf-program-amid-unacceptable-decline-in-diverse-candidates/

First, mark your calendars and spread the word! The PMF Program Office is happy to formally announce the dates for the upcoming PMF Class of 2022 Application, which are as follows:  opening Noon (Eastern Time), Tuesday, September 28 and closing Noon (Eastern Time), Tuesday, October 12, 2021. These dates have been posted here: https://www.pmf.gov/become-a-pmf/2022-application/. Approximately six weeks after the application closes, we expect to announce PMF Class of 2022 Finalists. Please monitor this webpage for updates

For the 2022 PMF application cycle, we have updated our assessment to improve the process in a variety of areas including addressing concerns around equity in all stages of the process. We are also enhancing our recruiting efforts with greater outreach to diverse communities, expansion of our engagement with Minority Serving Institutions, enhanced recruitment through the alumni network, and use of strategic recruitment platforms.

We have also released the updated “PMF Applicant Handbook” and posted it to the PMF website. The Handbook can be found under the “Become a PMF\Resources” section athttps://www.pmf.gov/become-a-pmf/resources/. The Handbook details the annual application process, explains eligibility requirements, required documentation, and provides an overview of the online assessment process, all with the goal of preparing prospective applicants to submit successful applications. Please note that we have integrated the previous “PMF Assessment Preparation Guide” into the Handbook.

Additionally, during the month of September 2021, the Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program will be hosting a series of informational webinars for prospective applicants about the upcoming PMF Class of 2022 Application. The informational webinars will provide a general overview of the PMF Program, details about the 2022 application cycle, and, if time permits, allow for any questions. Please note that several of the webinars have a specific focus related to strategic recruitment goals, but all will cover the basics outlined above and are open to all majors. The webinars will not be recorded for later publishing or viewing.
