This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a detailed report to Congress by January 1, 2025, examining how well three fellowship programs recruit and retain civilian talent for the Department of Defense. The three programs in question are the John S. McCain Strategic Defense Fellows Program, the Presidential Management Fellowship, and the Boren Fellowship. The report must include information on the total number of fellows who have entered these programs, how many were hired into the Defense Department after completing their fellowship, what career advancement opportunities are available to them, and demographic breakdowns of fellowship classes. The legislation essentially directs the Pentagon to assess whether these fellowship programs are successfully bringing talented civilians into the department and keeping them there through good career development opportunities.
