Open Doors to Diplomacy Act

This bill changes the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to address recruiting for the U.S. Foreign Service from community colleges, career and technical colleges, and similar schools. It states Congress's view that the Service should recruit from these schools and says the Secretary of State should hold regular outreach, information sessions, and preparation resources there. The Secretary may partner with campus career centers and student groups, use online outreach, and work with other federal agencies. The bill also opens a student program to those enrolled at least half-time, not only full-time, and requires the Secretary, to the extent practicable, to include outreach to students at these schools.
