A conservative organization is earning plaudits from Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill for its 10-month-long training program for congressional and Hill staffers, Fox News reported on Friday.

The Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) is preparing to launch the “Conservative Partnership Academy” as well as an in-person training program for “congressional staff and other members of the conservative movement who are interested in gaining the skills to advance good policy” in Washington, D.C., the outlet reported.

Jim DeMint, a former GOP senator from South Carolina who is the chairman of CPI, said the need for “well-trained staff on Capitol Hill to fight and win the key battles that will decide the future of our nation” is the impetus for the program aimed at equipping staff “with the skills they need to lead principled, conservative offices.”

Sen. Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, called the program a “game-changer.”

“The Conservative Partnership Academy is a game-changer for staffers seeking to defend the Constitution and fight for freedom in the halls of Congress,” he told Fox News Digital in a statement.

“Washington needs patriots with strong convictions and hard policy-making skills to achieve legislative victories for the American people,” he added.

Rep. Chip Roy of Texas added: “As a former Hill staffer, and now as a Member, I have seen firsthand what it takes to successfully be able to beat the swamp.”

“Conservatives are fighting an uphill battle, so being armed with as many tools, resources, and skills possible to defeat the Washington uni-party is crucial to win,” he noted further.

Roy called the training program a “great tool” to assist staff to “navigate the ups and downs of politics all while instilling freedom-loving principles in their minds and the determination to win in their hearts.”

Hugh Fike, who serves as the government relations director at CPI, emphasized that the program targets not only congressional office staff but also personnel who may be part of a future GOP presidency in 2025. DeMint, CPI CEO Ed Corrigan, and CPI senior advisor Mark Meadows, former chief of staff to former President Trump, are expected to play substantial roles in the program, Fox News Digital reported, adding:

The program will feature trainings on traditional House of Representative rules and procedures, Senate rules and procedures, and also feature a variety of other issue areas and issue experts. 

The Academy will feature three “fellowships” geared for junior staff to more senior policy and communications professionals.  Applications open from Aug. 29 through Sept. 29.

“We desperately need more sharpened conservative minds working to preserve our freedoms, on Capitol Hill and beyond,” Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas., told the outlet. “CPI is doing important work to train current and future staffers, and I look forward to seeing graduates of CPI Academy succeed.”
