The Veterans Local Government Management Fellowship (VLGMF) is a 12-to-25-week Department of Defense SkillBridge Program that provides transitioning service members with management training and hands-on experience in the local government environment to prepare them for smooth transitions into local government careers. This program will match eligible Fellows with local government sponsors based on skills, education, experience, and the preferences of both parties. The VLGMF offers three Cohorts per year and the application process traditionally begins three months prior to the beginning of a cohort.
