That support includes 1-on-1 mentorship and career advising, dedicated policy training, application support, introductions to hiring managers, an active peer community, and career development funding of up to $100,000 per participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what some past participants have said about the program:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8220;The Horizon Career Accelerator made my career pivot possible: it gave me the tools, mentorship, and network to translate my scientific expertise into actionable work on technology policy, and it gave me the confidence to pursue it.&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&#8220;Before joining the Career Accelerator, I imagined it would take years before I could transition to policy careers in DC. Horizon gave me the resources, encouragement, and guidance to help launch my policy career within months.&#8221;<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you&#8217;ll get<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the 9-month program period, you&#8217;ll have access to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>1-on-1 Mentorship:<\/strong> You&#8217;ll be matched with a dedicated mentor drawn from experienced policy practitioners, including Horizon Fellows, alumni, and other professionals in our network. You&#8217;ll also receive personalized career guidance from Horizon staff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dedicated Training:<\/strong> Participate in virtual trainings on topics most useful for getting into AI policy: working in Congress, think tanks, or federal agencies; testing your fit for policy; networking in DC; tactical application advice; and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Application Support:<\/strong> Get coaching on application materials (resumes, cover letters, writing samples) plus professional advice on topics like security clearances and immigration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Opportunity Notifications:<\/strong> Access exclusive job listings, internships, fellowships, and other policy opportunities from across our network, including those that aren&#8217;t publicly advertised.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peer Community &amp; Events:<\/strong> Join an active Slack community where participants and Horizon staff share insights, job leads, and resources, alongside virtual and in-person events.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Introductions to Hiring Managers:<\/strong> Expand your network through direct referrals to policy leaders and organizations across Horizon&#8217;s network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most time-intensive part of the program is the optional training period, which can take up to about 5 hours per week. Other components are flexible: total time commitment outside training is typically less than 2 hours per week on average, depending on your engagement with mentorship and advising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Funding for career development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the support above, you can submit a funding request, either during your initial application or anytime during the program, to seek financial support to advance your AI policy career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re willing to consider funding amounts up to <strong>$100,000<\/strong> per participant for eligible expenses, including unpaid or underpaid policy roles, upskilling opportunities (like conferences or courses), and relocation to DC for a specific policy-related opportunity. You don&#8217;t need to have a specific offer or opportunity already secured to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding decisions are made at Horizon&#8217;s discretion, based on the policy career benefit we expect the funding to provide. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.ashbyhq.com\/Horizon\/5b420823-dd48-4364-a4a8-af28487bb585\">funding request form<\/a> has more details on what we can and cannot fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who should apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We support participants across a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Early-career participants.<\/strong> Students and recent graduates seeking early-career policy opportunities, especially internships, fellowships, graduate degrees, and entry-level jobs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mid-career and senior participants.<\/strong> Experienced professionals (e.g., from the private sector or academia) seeking to pivot into US AI policy work who need help navigating the transition, whether that means finding full-time roles, identifying part-time opportunities, or upskilling. We\u2019re also open to participants who bring policy career experience but are now looking to pivot into work on AI policy issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some example applications we&#8217;d be excited to receive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You&#8217;re a student (undergraduate or graduate) exploring your fit for policy and you want help identifying and applying to congressional internships.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re a final-year undergraduate looking for your first job and want support finding strong opportunities and optimizing your application materials; as a backup, you might need a few months of internship funding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re a mid-career professional transitioning into AI policy and need financial support and connections to bridge a 3-12 month transition period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re a graduate student or professor who wants to do policy-related projects alongside your research and explore an affiliation with a DC-based organization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You&#8217;re an experienced policy professional who has recently become interested in AI and wants to pivot toward emerging technology issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re primarily seeking a 1-2 year full-time placement in government or think tanks, apply for our <a href=\"https:\/\/horizonpublicservice.org\/programs\/become-a-fellow\/\">Horizon Fellowship<\/a> instead.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re most excited about applicants with the following qualifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Passion for public service and interest in exploring their fit for policy or government careers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prior engagement with AI and\/or public policy (through work experience, coursework, research, self-study, or personal projects)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong interest in working on policy topics related to AI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strong interpersonal, writing, and communication skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don&#8217;t have minimum requirements for work experience or education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re unable to sponsor visas, so we generally expect applicants to have pre-existing US work authorization.
