Call to Serve Network - Federal Advisor Certificate Program

The Federal Advisor Certificate Program enables participants to become experts in all aspects of the federal hiring process and gain a deep knowledge of the wide range of federal career opportunities. Upon completion, participants are able to help students and recent graduates use USAJOBS, apply for government work and better understand the different pathways into federal service.

This fully asynchronous seven-week professional development program allows participants to engage with a small cohort on topics including USAJOBS, paid opportunities in government, federal hiring rules and processes, and how to identify and access careers in public service. Culminating in a capstone project, participants apply their knowledge to create a customized plan for connecting their students and campus community with federal career opportunities.

Participants walk away with:

• A deeper knowledge and understanding of the nuances of the federal hiring system.

• Strategies for advising students through the federal hiring process.

• Conversation starters to spark students’ interest in a federal career.

• Ideas for programs and trainings to bring to the campus community.
