The Capital City Fellows Program (CCFP) is an initiative of Mayor
Anthony Williams to attract recent graduates of master's degree
programs in public administration, public policy, urban planning,
and related fields to work for the city of Washington, DC. Candidates
compete for two-year fellowship appointments during which they complete
four six-month rotations in different city agencies, including the
Office of the City Administrator, Office of Personnel, Office of
the Chief Financial Officer, Department of Human Services, Department
of Motor Vehicles, Department of Transportation, and the Metropolitan
Police Department.
In addition to on-the-job training in their host agencies, Fellows
are given unique opportunities to meet with high-level city officials
and participate in educational and professional development seminars.
The program prepares Fellows to meet the challenges of local government
public service and develops management talent for the city.
A new class of Fellows starts working for the city each July. The
deadline for submitting applications for July 2004 has passed. Please
visit this site in July 2004 for the 2005 application, deadlines
and information on how to apply.
