TALENTS Act

This bill puts the Presidential Management Fellows Program into federal law. The program lets the Office of Personnel Management select people with recent graduate degrees as finalists, whom federal agencies may hire for 2-year fellowships with training, mentors, and job rotations. For fiscal years 2026 through 2031, the number of fellowship positions would be set at twice the number from the year before the bill becomes law. Fellows who complete the program may be converted to term or permanent federal jobs. The bill also sets Federal Executive Boards into law in 26 named metropolitan areas to coordinate federal agency work in those regions.
