Colin Powell understood that diversity “is a source of strength, it is a source of our success,” and exemplified his leadership values—both as a General and as Secretary of State — by putting people first.
The U.S. Department of State launched the Colin Powell Leadership Program to honor his legacy and inspire future Civil Service leaders.
The Colin Powell Leadership Program recruits highly motivated candidates from diverse backgrounds who possess the potential and aspiration to become future Civil Service leaders at the State Department. This paid program includes a fellowship program for recent college graduates and internships for bachelor’s degree students who are enrolled at accredited institutions of higher education. Both paths will lead to full-time employment opportunities at the Department and are focused on developing future leaders through official training, mentoring, and on-the-job experience for long-term success.
Opportunities will be posted on an annual basis, typically in the fall. Vacancy announcements will be available on usajobs.gov. To learn of future opportunities, follow our social channels, sign up for email alerts, and setup searches on usajobs.gov.
