NDTC’s Staff Academy is an intensive, 10-week program designed to recruit, train, and connect new staff to paid career opportunities in Democratic politics across the country.

Cohort members choose between three skills tracks when applying to the program: digital, fundraising, and communications. Every cohort member will also receive training in management and leadership.

How Staff Academy Works

• Online Training: Accepted cohort members will participate in online courses, attend weekly virtual live training webinars, and work on assignments—all while working in a strong, collaborative, and inclusive learning environment.
• Virtual Live Training Event: The program culminates with a four day, virtual training event during which cohort members level up their skills, pitch campaign plans, and work through simulation-based scenarios.
  
• Job Search Support: We help graduates during their search for campaign jobs by facilitating connections and providing individualized coaching. By the end of the program, Staff Academy Graduates have the foundation needed to build a successful career in Democratic politics and understand how to lead and manage a positive and inclusive culture as part of their strategic campaign goals.
