Professional Development and Public Education at the Institute

The Humphrey Institute offers a variety of professional development programs for legislators, legislative staff, and mid-career professionals.

Our International Fellowship Programs bring young and mid-career leaders from around the world to the Humphrey Institute for academic study, related professional experience, and cultural exchange.

The Policy Fellows program prepares a new generation of women and men to assume the responsibilities of leadership and encourages their participation and effective involvement in public affairs. Fellows participate in monthly policy seminars, attend Humphrey Institute Policy Forum conferences, take a study trip to Washington, D.C., and complete a group project. The program begins in September and concludes in June.

Each year, the Institute collaborates on a Women Legislators' Retreat specifically tailored for female policymakers.

Institute personnel also work with nonprofit organizations and public sector partners to design custom executive development programs for emerging leaders, mid-career government officials, and public policy professionals. These programs are designed to broaden the perspectives of public policy practitioners, teach them new tools in policy analysis, and improve their leadership and management skills.
