Congressional Innovation Fellowships Accepting Applications for 2025 Class; Deadline to Apply August 5
Do you have expertise in technological issues? Are you interested in how legislation impacts tech issues? There’s a Congressional fellowship for you! Tech Congress, an organization that, “gives talented technologists the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in federal policymaking and shape the future of tech policy,” is accepting applications for its 2025 class of Congressional Innovation Fellows.
The Congressional Innovation Fellowship is a program to, “bridge the divide between Congress and the technology sector.” Tech Congress provides benefits and assistance in placement in a Congressional personal or committee office. The program is looking for both early and mid-career technologists to get hands on experience working in Congress and learn about the policymaking process. This program has been running for several years, having been founded in 2015, and has sent over 119 technologists to Congress.
Tech Congress’ website has more details on what they’re looking for in applicants. If you’re interested in the intersection of public policy and technology, this is a great opportunity to pursue. They have two information calls scheduled for July 16 and July 29. The deadline to submit applications is August 5.
