Recent Leadership Fellows Reflect on Their Experiences
“I have always wanted to work for the Federal Reserve. After graduating college, I had several career paths open to me, and I was unsure of where to go. When I saw the Leadership Fellows Program offered by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, I thought it would offer a great set of experiences and allow me to work in several fields. Throughout the program, you are doing impactful work for the department and Bank, and you are treated as a member of the team during each rotation. The yearlong rotations allow for a truly unique experience that grants the leadership fellow time to gain a real understanding of the department they are in while getting a great deal of exposure to all of the business functions within the department and how they play into the Bank’s everyday functions.”

“I am learning how to balance both work and life, take the initiative, and take the lead. The Bank offers many opportunities to lead initiatives. You get to work with the entire department you rotate into, with many opportunities for you to connect and improve current procedures in the department. Everyone is also very supportive and looking to help you grow where possible.”
— Nikki Haslett
“The Bank’s culture is great. The peers I work with and the managers involved in the program are all great as well. Everyone is patient with you and allows for freedom of direction in your work. The program is helping me build core skills that are transferable to any role I enter after the program. The program has also taught me how to be a better advocate for myself. Being a part of the Information Technology Services Department events and programs was amazing. The cohorts offer a way to experience the program together, with onboarding buddies from previous cohorts that offer
helpful information when you are starting off in the program.”
