What is Placement Week and how is placement determined?
The individuals who are appointed by the President to serve as White House Fellows will be required to come to Washington, DC in July to participate in a series of briefings and interviews to determine their fellowship work placements. The Commission pays for travel and lodging during Placement Week. Fellows also use this time to make housing arrangements.The Program Director will work with each Fellow and government agency to assess placements. The Program Director strives to match up the Fellows’ and the agencies’ preferred placements, and has the discretion to assign placements to ensure that there is a good fit for the Fellow, agency, and the program. It is important to remember that not every Fellow will work on issues or in an agency that pertains to their current profession.
