Overview
As a
Federal employee, aspiring to become a member of the Senior Executive Service
(SES) may be in your near or long-term career goals. But where do you start? You
may be wondering what it takes to be an SES member, and how the role of the SES
shapes our government. This virtual OPM seminar will answer those
questions and more.
The Senior Executive Service (SES) lead America’s workforce.
As the keystone of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, the SES was
established to “...ensure that the executive management of the Government of
the United States is responsive to the needs, policies, and goals of the Nation
and otherwise is of the highest quality.” These leaders possess well-honed
executive skills and share a broad perspective on government and a public service
commitment that is grounded in the Constitution.
Members of the SES serve in the key positions just below the
top Presidential appointees. SES members are the major link between these
appointees and the rest of the Federal workforce. They operate and oversee
nearly every government activity in approximately 75 Federal agencies.
