Getting ready: Heritage launched the Presidential Training Academy last week as part of the ambitious 2025 Presidential Transition Project to recruit and train conservatives for key positions in the next administration.  

• The Training Academy will include workshops, seminars, online videos, and mentorship covering the ins and outs of serving in the federal government. 
• “This is about equipping future political appointees to understand the rules of the road so they are ready to advance the president’s agenda on Day One,” said Paul Dans, director of Project 2025. Read more about the Training Academy here.
