Progressive Talent Pipeline Endorsement

Progressive Talent Pipeline is a program that identifies, trains, and endorses candidates interested in applying for roles in Congress and government agencies (though PTP does not make hiring decisions and has no role in the hiring process).

Too often, there’s no clear entry point for aspiring staffers that do not already have insider connections or a background in how the federal government works. PTP bridges that gap through ongoing trainings, job search support, career development, and networking events. It provides a community for people dedicated to progressive priorities. More than 275 PTPers have secured employment in Congress, the executive branch, and government agencies!

Progressive Talent Pipeline is a great opportunity for anyone interested in advancing progressive priorities in government and is open to all experience levels — whether you’re just starting out, transitioning from another profession, a mid- or senior-level policy or communications professional, or a current government employee looking to take the next step! This cycle PTP will consider individuals graduating Spring 2027 or sooner! This applies to both graduate and undergraduate students.

Apply for the Progressive Talent Pipeline Endorsement by Sunday, October 25, 2026!
