Accepted applicants will remain in the Administrative Pool for two-years and then must reapply.
STEP 3:
Administrative Pool applicants who have advanced to this point will be scheduled for a 20-minute situational presentation based on a specific topic determined by the Administrative Cabinet. At the discretion of the Administrative Cabinet, STEP 3 may be completed in person or virtual.
