Strategic Partnerships Specialist
The ATF SkillBridge Intergovernmental Affairs & Strategic Partnerships Specialist internship is a 24‑week, in‑person program within the office of Public and Governmental Affairs. It provides transitioning service members with hands‑on experience in partner engagement, federal and interagency coordination, event planning, briefing material development, and strategic relationship management. Interns learn how ATF maintains and advances relationships across federal agencies, law enforcement associations, state and local governments, tribal governments, and national-level organizations. Through structured phases, participants build practical skills in meeting coordination, stakeholder outreach, community engagement, and strategic communications while supporting high‑visibility engagements and multi-agency initiatives. Completion does not constitute an offer of federal employment.
