Your Pathway to Financial Leadership with DON FMCP
The FMCP is a comprehensive two-year program designed to provide hands-on experience and diverse learning opportunities. Participants, known as Trainees and Associates, are officially part of the FMCP and are assigned to various Navy and Marine Corps locations, or “Homeports,” across the United States. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are placed in permanent positions within their Homeports, equipped to meet the evolving demands of the DON’s financial management workforce. We recruit for positions such as Financial Management Analysts (series 501) and Accountants (series 510) at the GS-7/9/11 (Trainee) and GS-9/11/12 (Associate) levels.
