INTERGOVERNMENTAL PERSONNEL ACT PROGRAM
Placing Mission-Ready Talent Where It's Needed Most
As an approved IPA partner, The Pallas Foundation positions exceptional young professionals in full-time federal government roles–bringing national security talent from our pipeline directly into the agencies that need it
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
A Direct Pipeline from Pallas to Federal Service
The Pallas Foundation is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of national security leaders. Through our fellowship program, we train young professionals in leadership, national security, and emerging technologies–building a pipeline of mission-ready talent passionate about public service.
As an approved Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) partner, we have the authority to place these professionals into full-time federal government roles. Our IPAs embed directly within agencies, bringing fresh expertise, strategic thinking, and the Pallas network to bear the nation's most pressing challenges.
We are actively seeking government partners to expand upon our successful placements–and our bench of talent is ready.

The Pallas Foundation IPA came with a great skill set. They brought a level of strategic thinking, writing, and planning that was immensely helpful for our team. The reach back to their team and DOD influencers is also a huge benefit.
