Iowa FSA will open job announcements in June to the County Office Executive Director Training (CEDT) Pilot Program. The goal of the pilot is to incentivize more candidates to compete for positions in the training program by reducing the relocation distance someone might have to accept compared to if they graduated from the traditional CEDT program.

The Iowa CEDT Pilot Program breaks Iowa into four quadrants allowing candidates to apply for positions that are closer to home and not requiring potential relocation across the entire state. View the quadrants here.

Under this pilot program, Iowa FSA is seeking to fill multiple positions with individuals who will train to become FSA CEDs. Successful applicants to the CEDT Pilot Program will complete a yearlong training program. Once the applicant has completed their training course, they will be expected to apply for CED positions that are announced throughout the quadrant in which they applied.

The application process is an online process through usajobs.gov. Direct links to the CEDT Pilot Program vacancy announcements will post on this site as soon as the application period opens.
