But the federal hiring process can be daunting—and identifying opportunities within an institution as large and complex as our federal government can make it difficult for job seekers and those who support and advise them to know where to start. The Federal Advisor Certificate Program enables Call to Serve members to become experts in all aspects of the federal hiring process, to gain a deep knowledge of the wide range of government job opportunities and to guide aspiring public servants as they prepare to launch their professional careers.
