Most people know NDTC as a leading campaign training hub — for candidates.
But one of our best-kept secrets? We have just as many resources for campaign staff.
We don’t always lead with it because, honestly, we think more people should RUN! And we’re probably not done trying to convince you to either.
But we know it’s not the right choice for everyone, and training staff who can plan, strategize, execute, and lead on campaigns is just as important to Democratic victories.
So in case you missed them, here’s a round-up of our staff-specific courses and resources. Still expert-produced, still accessible, and still free.
Campaign staff courses:
- Building a Powerful Political Job Application
- Preparing for Successful Interviews and Political Job Offers
- Growing Your Political Career through Networking
Campaign staff resources:
- Campaign Staff Roles and Responsibilities Guide
- Trying to Get a Job in Politics? Start Here.
- Deciding Where to Build Your Political Career
If you’re looking for a job on a campaign in 2026 (or just know someone thinking about it!), these are your best places to start.
