DHS Fellows Program (502027)

About the Program

 The DHS Fellows Program strengthens the leadership skills of GS-13 and 15 full time employees (or equivalent that may include pay banding and/or uniformed pay grade) through a proven combination of innovative coursework, best practices benchmarking, challenging action-learning projects, executive coaching and assessments, and Department-wide networking – all tailored to DHS’s unique operating environment.  The DHS Fellows Program enhances collaboration, promotes a common vision, and ultimately ensures that DHS leadership delivers the right results to the American people.

 This program provides a rigorous 10-month curriculum which includes site visits, residential sessions in key DHS locations, coaching, instruction, and one 60-90 day rotational assignment.  Developed by the Partnership for Public Service and managed by the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer, the DHS Fellows Program prepares a cadre of leaders selected throughout the Department who are committed to bringing a joint perspective to leading people and mission in a variety of disciplines. Participant Objectives
