UPCOMING VIRTUAL OFFERINGS
- COURSE – Seize the Advantage: Understanding Non-Competitive Eligibility (NCE)
Non-Competitive Eligibility (NCE) is a special hiring authority that allows U.S. citizen ExchangeAlumni of specific U.S. government-funded exchange programs (Fulbright U.S. Student Program, Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship, Critical Language Scholarship, David L. Boren Awards, and Peace Corps) to apply to federal positions without competing with the general public. Throughout this course, you will learn more about NCE and how you can leverage this unique opportunity to apply for federal jobs. While not all ExchangeAlumni programs are eligible for NCE, all alumni are encouraged to take this course.

NOTE: alumni will receive access to other virtual resources in ARC for a limited time, such as past webinar recordings, and our courses on Applying for CDAF and Exchanges on the Move: Unleashing the Power of Transferable Skills.
