The program is a two-year, entry-level position with three to six-month rotations in various agencies within the Government of the Virgin Islands.
During the two-year program, individuals will complete challenging rotational assignments under the supervision of an assigned departmental fellowship coordinator.
GVI Financial Fellows are full-time employees with the same benefits as other GVI employees. Fellows will work alongside a mentor who will guide them through a range of assignments, training and professional developmental opportunities. In the second year of the fellowship, candidates will be responsible for identifying and completing a business challenge project that addresses a critical issue in the Government of the Virgin Islands.
Upon successful completion of the program, fellows will have the opportunity to seek full-time employment within any GVI agency.
