Presidential Management Fellows Program Applications Up 21 Percent The Office of Personnel Management has announced that applications for the presidential management fellows program - it replaced the presidential management intern program -- increased by 21 percent to 3,321, over 2003. It said nominations by university officials increased by 23 percent to 3,073 and that finalists would be announced in spring of 2005. The executive order establishing the revised program removed a 400-person hiring cap, increased pay levels, expanded participation to excepted-service agencies such as law enforcement and national security agencies, and created a senior fellows component, said OPM, adding that staffing levels were increased when the program's headquarters were relocated from Philadelphia to Washington D.C., which also increased visibility. The program is open to individuals from a range of academic disciplines who are interested in the analysis and management of public policies and programs. More than 3,500 alumni of the previous program currently service in all cabinet departments and more than 50 federal agencies, said OPM. 3. 4,704 Apply for SES Candidate Program The Office of Personnel Management has announced that it received 4,704 applications for senior executive service candidate program positions after a recent solicitation. It said the program entails "intensive formal training, competitive, real-life programs and mentoring relationships," and prior to graduation, candidates must demonstrate leadership skills and agility as they navigate actual programs and work through problems while building teams and people skills. OPM said it is currently processing applications and that the program would strengthen succession planning throughout government. Nearly 60 percent of the current career Senior Executive Service corps will be eligible to retire within the next five years. Published by FEDweek 11541 Nuckols Rd.
