WHAT FELLOWS DO
Fill Immediate Gaps
Because of their technical excellence, our Fellows close skill and capacity gaps immediately. It’s common for Fellows to take on projects that offices have been unable to start for years.
Save Time
By advancing timelines and reducing inefficiencies, our Fellows contribute to significant time savings. Past partners have reported as high as 500-800 hours saved.
Save Money
Hiring a Fellow costs less than hiring a consultant. Past partners have reported thousands of dollars in cost savings. From $20,000 to $250,000.
WHAT WE LOOK FOR
We know government needs to invest in the next generation of technical talent. If you’re interested in hiring top technologists, here are the characteristics we’ve found lead to a successful Fellowship placement:
High-Impact Projects
Fellows thrive on projects with achievable goals and impact that can feasibly be completed in 10 weeks. Projects can be in any stage of completion and Fellows can work on multiple projects– we’re eager to meet your team’s needs.
Office Champion
Our most successful partnerships are with offices that have leadership buy-in to support long-term early-career talent development.
Technical Knowledge
To ensure a positive experience, we want offices to know how to utilize technical talent and have staff to support Fellows as they innovate over the summer.
