Aspiring Leader Program

The Aspiring Leader Program is a six-month program of formal and informal training open to all Federal Government employees, at the GS-5 through 7 level. This program requires time and commitment from both participant and their organization.

The program is structured around three, 5-day residential seminars that are held within a 200-mile radius of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Each seminar includes a daily classroom schedule, several mandatory evening sessions, and additional developmental work assignments. These assignments are designed to meet each individual's needs, while participants work closely with managers to design assignments that will best serve them. The program provides two main benefits:

1) Participants will acquire the skills needed to work well in a team environment
2) Organizations will acquire team-oriented, self-directed staff members.
