Description: The Cookingham-Noll Management Fellowship is one of the longest running and most well-known municipal management fellowships in the country. The program is designed to attract, develop, and retain talented individuals with an interest in a local government management career. It offers recent graduates of public administration (or related) Master’s programs a two year experience that gives fellows a “360-degree tour of the city.” This includes rotations in the City Manager’s Office, the Office of Management and Budget, and other departments of their choice. Fellows will also attend and participate in several meetings each week with the City Manager and other City leadership throughout their time as a fellow. After the fellowship concludes, successful participants are recruited by departments to fill available city jobs, and many of our top-level executives began their career in this program.
We are ramping up our recruitment efforts for two new Fellows, who will begin their two-year program in June 2016. Applicants for this Fellowship typically come from top-level Master’s programs from across the country, such as your own. Our application portal will open on Sunday, December 27th and will close on Friday, January 29th.
To Apply: Required application materials include a resume, cover letter, transcript, three letters of recommendation, and a writing sample based on a provided prompt. For all information regarding application process, go here.
