Department of the Navy
Presidential Management Fellows Program

We're Looking for the Best!

The Department of the Navy Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) Program is your first step towards leadership in the public sector.

Come join the 180,000 civilians employed by the Department of the Navy (DON) at Navy and Marine Corps activities throughout the world. Civilian employees provide the critical infrastructure needed to support the Department's mission. From scientific research to support of the families of the men and women who serve, civilian employees work within an exciting and diverse environment.

By becoming a DON PMF, you will have the opportunity to make a difference! Your assignments may involve program and policy issues, human resources, technology, financial management, or a variety of other fields. But, regardless of the field you choose, you will be able to put your knowledge to work in the service of your country.

We are a Winning Organization!

This past year demonstrated the value of naval forces
projecting decisive, joint power across the globe.
Our Task: continue to accelerate the advantages the
U.S. Navy brings this nation.

(ADM Vern Clark, Chief of Naval Operations)

As a DON PMF you will receive at least two, 60-day rotational assignments to other functional areas within the DON/Department of Defense (DOD) or the Federal government.  You will also attend OPM and DON sponsored training events for at least 80 hours of training each year.  DON events include a 4-day Capitol Hill Workshop, leadership training, a trip to the Marine Corps Boot Camp in Parris Island, SC and other Fleet/Force Commands.
